Bern, Kansas based C.J. Foods, Inc. has announced they've acquired Baxter Springs based Day Six Pet Nutrition, which also specializes in manufacturing specialty dry pet food brands

C.J. Foods President and CEO Tod Morgan says the purchase of Day Six Pet Nutrition from its founder, Jerry Ross, further increases C.J. Foods share in the Super Premium Petfood manufacturing market.

Morgan says the combination of Day Six with C.J. Foods will immediately provide room for their clients to grow their business with them. In addition, he says the acquisition is also expected to result in greater flexibility in scheduling and increase their capabilities as they add a nearly new facility along with a top notch team of experienced people.

Company officials say the partnership was formed as a result of the board determining more than a year ago that they wanted to grow the company by pursuing the very best companies available in this space and feel strongly that they have found that in Day Six Pet.

C.J. Foods will retain all 40 of the Day Six employees including the management team under Ross’s leadership

Morgan says the integration of both companies will take place over the next 90 days and will include changing the name of the business to C.J. Foods, Inc.

Founded in 1985, C.J. Foods currently employs more than 300 people with manufacturing facilities in in Pawnee City, Nebraska, Bern and now Baxter Springs.
