While new to U.S. manufacturing, Farmina has served North American pet owners for more than a decade, delivering premium pet food made with European ingredients, upheld by rigorous standards and cutting-edge technology. The 150,000-square-foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, located at 248 Sands Road, Reidsville, represents a $115 million investment and is expected to create 200 new jobs over the next five years, with 75 positions already filled. New roles include machine operators, veterinarians, chemical technicians, shipping clerks, maintenance technicians, managers, and supervisors. To celebrate Farmina's investment in the local and state economies, North Carolina State Senator Phil Berger, Assistant Commissioner for Consumer Protection, NC Department of Agriculture Chrissy Waggett, Chairman of the Rockingham County board of Commissioners Kevin Berger, and Mayor of Reidsville Donald Gorham, attended the official opening of the facility on June 11, 2025.

Farmina sets a new standard in the American-based pet food industry with respect to quality and technology. This expansion brings unmatched excellence in manufacturing technology, quality of ingredients and European food safety and nutrition standards that adhere to and far exceed U.S. regulations. Through the production output of this new facility, Farmina sets a new standard of pet care for consumers across North America. "As Italians, family is at the heart of everything we do – and that includes our pets," said Loris Rinaldi, CEO of Farmina Pet Foods North America. "This belief drives us to create the highest quality nutrition for our four-legged family members. With our new Reidsville facility, we're proud to bring European standards, premium ingredients, and personalized support to pet parents across the U.S." The high-tech facility was years in the making and supported by a coalition including the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Rockingham County, the City of Reidsville, Duke Energy, and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), with assistance from the state's Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG).
