After years of co-leading a successful pet food brand, the decision to establish Next Level was driven by a profound belief in the potential for advancing pet nutrition. For founders Antoine Glover and Maria Albin, the venture represents an opportunity to capitalize on their extensive knowledge of nutrition science and streamlined manufacturing processes.
“Antoine and I have dedicated our careers to understanding the optimal nutrition for pets and refining the production of premium pet food,” states Glover. “With Next Level, we’ve crafted a brand that embodies our expertise and commitment to excellence in every formula and package.”
Despite the brand’s rapid growth, Glover and Albin remain deeply involved in all aspects of the business. From overseeing manufacturing processes in their newly constructed facility to engaging directly with customers via social media, their hands-on approach ensures that Next Level maintains its unwavering dedication to quality.
The transparency of Next Level’s operations sets it apart in the industry. Through informative online content, including videos, social media updates, and facility tours, Glover and Albin have opened their doors to consumers, offering unprecedented insight into their production methods. “We believe in earning trust through transparency, which means allowing consumers to witness firsthand the quality of the food they’re providing for their pets,” explains Albin.
This commitment to openness has resonated with both retailers and consumers. Since its launch in August 2023, Next Level has swiftly expanded its presence from obscurity to shelves in stores nationwide. The company has experienced consistent double-digit growth in retail partnerships and online sales, a testament to its innovative approach and unwavering standards.
With Glover and Albin at the helm, Next Level emerges as one of the pet food industry’s fastest-growing brands, poised to make a significant impact with its emphasis on quality, transparency, and nutritional excellence.
