About Central Garden & Pet Company

Central Garden & Pet Company (CENT) was founded in 1980 and has grown to become one of the largest companies in the lawn, garden, and pet supplies markets in the United States. The company operates through two segments: Pet and Garden, providing branded and private label products to major retailers including Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, and specialty pet retailers. CENT stock price reflects the company's diversified product portfolio and strong retail partnerships across both consumer segments.

The company's leadership team, including CEO Tim Cofer who joined in 2020, has focused on expanding the product portfolio through strategic acquisitions and innovation. Under this leadership, Central Garden & Pet has acquired numerous brands to strengthen its market position in both the pet care and garden care industries. The CENT stock price has benefited from increased consumer spending on pets and home gardening, particularly during periods of increased home-based activities.

Central Garden & Pet's operations span manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of over 65 brands including Pennington Seed, Nylabone, Four Paws, and Cadet. The company's strategic focus on private label manufacturing for major retailers provides stable revenue streams and strong customer relationships. Investors monitoring CENT stock price should consider seasonal fluctuations in garden products and the growing trend of pet ownership, which continues to drive demand for the company's diverse product offerings.
