Legend Capital invested in Gambol Pet in 2019 and 2020 and helped the company transform from an export-oriented OEM enterprise to a leading pet food enterprise in China driven by its own brand business. After the investment, Legend Capital provided value-added services to the company in various dimensions to support its business at home and abroad, including supply chain resource introduction, business sales channel connection, financial and legal compliance, and talent introduction.
QIN Hua, Chairman and CEO of Gambol Pet, said: "Gambol Pet will take the listing as an opportunity to firmly grasp the strategic window of the rapid development of the pet industry in China. We will adapt to the changes and dynamic trends in pet culture, consumer upgrades, and consumption concepts and continue increasing our products' market share in domestic and overseas markets. Simultaneously, by continuing to accelerate our global expansion and build our global advantages in technologies, talents, markets, and supply chains, we will keep moving forward and strive to become a highly innovative international enterprise with substantial growth, as well as a leading player in the global pet food industry."
Raymond CHEN, Co-Chief Investment Officer of Legend Capital, said: "With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people are getting emotionally attached to pets. The pet industry in China is in its early stages and enjoys broad prospects for future development. Gambol Pet adheres to continuous innovation and emphasizes proprietary brands. Through independent R&D and product innovation, it has formed its core brand, Myfoodie, which surpassed many imported brands and helped Gambol Pet consolidate its leading position in the pet food industry.
