COMPANY HISTORY
Eläinruokatehdas Lemmikki Oy was founded in 1986 by Teuvo Martikainen and Risto Heikkinen, in Levänen, Kuopio. Three years later, the company moved to larger production facilities in Siilinjärvi Toivala. When Risto Heikkinen focused on Lihaniekka Oy’s operations, Teuvo Martikainen’s brother Tapio Martikainen and Petri Hiekka-aho became shareholders in the company.
In 2000, Lemmikki bought the premises of the former Fazer bakery and moved to its current location in Kettulanlahti, Kuopio.
Eläinruokatehdas Lemmikki Oy changed ownership in 2014, when the company’s former owners sold the company to the Swedish private equity company Voff Premium Pet Food . The company continued to operate in the former premises as the entire staff continued in the company as former employees.
In 2016, Janne Räsänen, started as the company’s CEO when the founding member Teuvo Martikainen retired.
The factory store underwent an extensive renovation in 2018, and in the same year, the packaging of Oscar products also received its current appearance.
During 2019, Lemmikki Oy started exporting wild bird’s food to Sweden to the ICA chain.
