With sustainability and safety always top of mind, our Atlanta factory proudly and passionately produces 460,000 tons a year of our dry pet food brands, including Alpo , Beneful , Cat Chow , Dog Chow , Friskies , Purina ONE and Pro Plan . This plant location is just along the southern crescent of Metro Atlanta-an area that nearly 6 million residents and many of our associates call home. Atlanta is considered the major commercial and financial center of the Southeast and the growth of businesses and population continues to build the city's strong logistics, entertainment and film, and health services industries.
