Solid Gold, America’s first holistic pet food brand, celebrated the grand opening of their new 6,000 sq. ft. headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri.

 

More than half of the world’s animal health industry is represented in the Kansas City region, and St. Louis area pet food companies generate more than $9 billion in revenue.

“With our Kansas City Animal Health Corridor making up more than 56 percent of the world’s total animal health research, diagnostics and pet food sales, Missouri is at the center of animal health innovation,” said Gov. Jay Nixon. “Solid Gold Pet’s decision to join Missouri’s growing community of animal-focused companies further solidifies our global leadership in this industry while creating high-paying jobs for families in our state.”

With its strategic location, globally connected infrastructure, competitive business and labor costs, highly-skilled and hard working talent, quality of life and a statewide commitment to attracting companies and investment, Missouri is a place where companies come to grow and thrive.
