Poland-based pet food producer Bemo is expanding its product line to include wet and dry cat food, building on its success in the holistic dog food market.
Olga Forlicz, Bemo’s marketing manager, told Petfood Industry that the company currently offers a wide range of dry and wet dog food, along with treats and supplements. The brand focuses on “super premium” products made from human-grade ingredients, avoiding chicken meat and grains in favor of fresh, natural components. In addition to its own brand, Bemo also manufactures products for business partners.
Located in Tarnów, in southern Poland’s Podkarpacie region, Bemo is working to grow its international presence. The company recently began exporting to Hungary and Latvia and is actively seeking new markets across Europe and Asia.
“We continue to look for new foreign markets to which we could expand with our offer,” Forlicz said.
In a company statement, Bemo emphasized its commitment to quality and safety, stating that all products are made in Europe using “the highest quality components without compromise.”
“Our primary goal is to create safe, highly valuable, natural-based nutritional systems supported by scientific research,” the company added. “Bemo products are designed to meet the needs of dogs and cats with the most demanding dietary requirements.”
Meanwhile, in Bulgaria, biotech startup Nasekomo has made significant progress in insect farming. The company announced that its automated rearing platform for Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae has achieved a feed conversion ratio (FCR) of 25%, a figure that is about 33% better than conventional crate-based methods.
“This is a key moment for our industry,” said Marc Bolard, co-founder and CEO of Nasekomo. “Our zero-crate, fully automated system proves that insect farming can scale effectively, with lower mortality rates and improved efficiency. We expect to operate at or above this level from 2026.”
With the global food demand expected to rise by 100 million tons annually by 2050, Nasekomo says its sustainable approach could help relieve pressure on the feed and protein supply chain.
“Insects don’t require arable land, which allows for vertical farming with much lower land use,” the company said. “Our products are also beneficial for animal health, thanks to the antibacterial and antifungal properties of insect fat.”
Nasekomo’s innovations have potential applications in pet food and beyond, supporting the industry’s shift toward more sustainable, health-conscious solutions.
