How FNB Business partnered with Afrique Pet Food to fuel growth and operational excellence
Afrique Pet Food (Pty) Ltd stands as one of South Africa's foremost dry pet food manufacturers, producing trusting brands such as JOCK, Grandeur, Tailsup, EPOL and Vitagen. Having created jobs for more than 125 employees, Afrique Pet Food is a key player in the pet nutrition market.
Like many growing businesses, Afrique Pet Food faced challenges managing working capital to support stock procurement and creditor payments. To overcome this, Afrique partnered with FNB Business, which provided a R160 million Debtor Finance Facility, including a R20 million stock floor limit.

In addition, a R45 million Commercial Property Finance Loan was granted to support their expansion plans, further fuelling the company's growth.
