"Over the past decade, we've invested in more than manufacturing—we've invested in people," said Phil Souza, President of NVM Pet. "Watching this team grow alongside our Charlotte operation has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. Their commitment to excellence is what defines NVM Pet and will continue to drive our success."

Beyond manufacturing, NVM Pet continues to support animal welfare organizations throughout the Charlotte region through ongoing product donations, including a recent donation of more than 150 pet beds to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control. The company regularly partners with shelters and rescue organizations to help pets in need find greater comfort while awaiting adoption.

As NVM Pet looks toward its next decade, the company's focus remains unchanged: investing in its people, strengthening American manufacturing, and delivering innovative pet products that combine comfort, quality, and trusted brand partnerships.
