About Finnie Distributing

Finnie Distributing is an agri-food wholesale and distribution business located on Perth Line 9 in St. Marys. The company serves the pet food industry by supplying high-quality raw ingredients used to manufacture pet food products. The company offers a wide variety of meat, fish, and poultry products, ranging from human-grade to by-products. These items are available in frozen 50lb blocks or emulsified through a 2mm plate in bulk or totes. They also provide emulsified human-grade fruits and vegetables mixed with meat, poultry, or fish. Additionally, the business produces liquid flavour enhancers, including a liver-flavoured option for dog food and a 23-ingredient blend for cat food. They also provide depackaging services for the grocery and pet food industries. Founded by Donald B. Finnie in 1953, the business was purchased by the Richardson family in 1997. Since the acquisition, the family has expanded the company's supply of ingredients to the pet food sector. The facility is a category 3 EU approved site and features 10,000 square feet of freezer space maintained at -17c. The company also highlights its green initiatives, noting that it has been an industry leader since 2001 due to the installation of a 480,000-gallon anaerobic digester.
