In order to achieve such growth over the last eight years, Royal Canin has been implementing strategic, commercial and technical change focusing on quality.

The industrial investments made by Royal Canin over the years has made it possible to reengineer the Group production plants to the highest quality standards and to build plants that are modern, innovative and, primarily, competitive.

A Simple Philosophy

Lean Production is based on a simple philosophy:

• The removal of all activities without added value
• The elimination of all waste
• The reduction of operational problems

It uses three main principles of action:

• Make it easier for collective intelligence to be shared
• Ask questions constantly
• Refusal to simply accept the status quo

Reactivity and Adaptation

By bringing all functions closer, the redesigning of flow development plans enables the the new plants to be brighter, simpler (in-line just-in-time production), more compact and flexible, better controlled and therefore with a greater reaction capability.

Each located in the heart of its market, the plants at Cambrai and Aimargues in France, Rolla in the USA, Descalvado in Brazil, Gonzales Catan (Buenos Aires) in Argentina, Johannesburg in South Africa and Dimitriov (Moscow) in Russia enjoy a decisive edge in terms of reaction capability, adaptation and logistical costs.

Royal Canin Employees

Royal Canin gives its salaried staff a key role in the production process. Taking into account each individual’s opinions and commitment to constant improvement, this is looked upon by the company as an essential element in Royal Canin’s continuous development strategy.
