Now that we are back as a primary carrier for Mars Petcare, we have the opportunity to start hauling freight from their Royal Canin division. We pick up preloaded shipments from the Edwardsville site and deliver to PetSmart in Ottawa, IL & to Animal Supply Company in Bartlett, IL.
Royal Canin was started in 1968 in France when a veterinarian named Jean Cathary came to believe that food could impact the health of animals. They strive to make nutrition a cat or dog’s first medicine and their philosophy is to make a better world for pets. By 1974 Royal Canin had expanded internationally and their products were being sold in eight countries across Europe.
By the mid-1980s the brand was launched in the United States. In 1997 Royal Canin was the first pet food company that offered a nutritional program based on the size and age of dogs. Mars acquired them in 2001 and they continue to grow with new offerings such as breed-specific food, a wet range of cat food, food for pets with allergies, and even liquid designed for tube feeding so vets can help pets in critical condition.
The Marvin Keller Account Reps work hard to grow and increase volume with our current Customers. We are always looking for more drop and hook lanes to keep our Drivers moving!
