WHO WE ARE

Founded in 1991 by entrepreneurs Nelo Marraccini and Vinicius Marraccini, Akron is a Brazilian company specialized in the production and marketing of food, accessories and various products for pets, considered as the largest distribution platform for these articles in Latin America.
A partnership with Royal Canin, in the implementation of the cat and dog food brand, built a solid history of Akron in Brazil. For more than 20 years, Akron has been responsible for the logistics and commercial management, contributing directly to the leadership achieved by the French brand in the national Super Premium food market.
All this knowhow and expertise acquired with the work carried out with Royal Canin led to another achievement in 2019, when Akron exclusively took over the logistical and commercial management of Eukanuba - global brand of Super Premium food for dogs and cats, which belongs to the American conglomerate Mars.
Akron currently has six companies specialized in the most diverse needs and specificities of the pet sector:

OUR PURPOSE
Present in the market for over 25 years, Akron was born with the objective of being the largest distribution platform of the pet market in the country. Through its vast knowledge and expertise, the company has increasingly consolidated its position as the main distribution platform for the pet sector in Brazil and throughout Latin America. We offer our partners complete and effective logistical and commercial solutions, applied in conjunction with a highly trained sales intelligence that aims at meeting the operational and marketing needs of each client.
We combine market expertise with a passion for animals - a feeling that has been part of the essence of our family for more than two generations. Our dream has always been greater than just wanting to be part of this market; we wanted to be able to create, develop and provide health and vitality for those who, in addition to bringing well-being, fulfill our lives. It is this passion that moves us, that motivates us to work for a world without ego, malice, and where love prevails.
We want to continue expanding the reach of our operations and continually challenge our current model to improve the distribution infrastructure and our factories. Our goal is to provide adequate nutrition to our customers with demanding tastes, using the highest technology possible.
