About Direct Sourcing Group Direct Sourcing Group – Sustainable Ingredient and Manufacturing Solutions Booth 5787 | Supplier Pavilion | Global Pet Expo 2026, Orlando, FL Direct Sourcing Group connects sustainable production with efficient global sourcing for the pet food industry. Through our two divisions — Direct Sourcing Ingredients and Direct Sourcing Manufacturing — we offer a complete supply solution for manufacturers seeking reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible ingredients. Direct Sourcing Ingredients Direct Sourcing Ingredients specialises in the procurement and supply of high-quality raw materials specifically tailored to the pet food sector. Our global network of trusted producers enables us to source a wide range of natural ingredients efficiently and at the right price point. We focus on functional and value-adding ingredients such as dried vegetables, fruit, fibres, starches, yeasts, and proteins — all suitable for premium, natural, and clean-label pet food formulations. By managing supplier relationships directly, we remove unnecessary intermediaries, reducing cost and complexity for manufacturers. Our logistics model ensures timely, consolidated deliveries across Europe and North America, while maintaining full traceability and quality assurance from origin to finished product. Our goal is simple: to help pet food producers secure dependable ingredient supply chains that support both their cost objectives and sustainability commitments. Direct Sourcing Manufacturing At the heart of our sustainability offering is Direct Sourcing Manufacturing, home to our innovative vegetable drying operation powered entirely by renewable energy. We proudly produce 100% green dried carrot and parsnip, using energy derived exclusively from an anaerobic digestion (AD) process. Organic waste is converted into methane, which powers on-site generators producing both heat and electricity. The recovered heat is used directly in our drying system — eliminating fossil fuels from the process. This closed-loop system dramatically reduces our carbon footprint while ensuring consistent, high-quality dried ingredients suitable for natural and sustainable pet food applications. It demonstrates our commitment to circular economy principles and environmentally responsible production. By combining renewable-energy manufacturing with global sourcing expertise, Direct Sourcing Group delivers a truly integrated and sustainable supply solution to the pet food industry. Our Mission At Direct Sourcing Group, our mission is to connect ethical production with practical efficiency — enabling pet food manufacturers to meet the growing demand for sustainable, traceable, and cost-effective ingredients. Whether through our global sourcing capabilities or our green drying technology, we deliver ingredients that perform — commercially and environmentally.
