Our Story

KLN Family Brands is a 3rd generation family-owned business that started in 1964 with its corporate headquarters located in Perham, MN, in the heart of MN lakes country. Together, our companies manufacture a diverse and expanding range of high-quality human and pet food products.

At KLN Family Brands, our vision is that “We are a proud people-first company. We are successful because of trust-based relationships and first-rate products for our families and friends. We better the world by caring for others. We challenge. We grow. We inspire.”

Some companies have to “fudge the story” a little. Some need the extra “spin” to shine a positive light on themselves. That’s not who we are at KLN Family Brands, and that’s not what we do. We tell the story of our brand – our people, the quality of our products, our spirit & moxie, our tradition, and the way we treat our community & beyond. We do it in a genuine way because we genuinely believe we’re a pretty amazing company.

The Opportunity

Imagine having a chance to produce and package our most popular product line, NutriSource Pet Foods and Tuffy's Pet Foods for everyone's favorite 4-legged friends. Imagine sharing in the profits of a historic family owned business that paid out over $6 million to its employees in 2023. Imagine living in the Lakes Area of Minnesota, with world-class shopping, boating, and fishing at dozens of local lakes. It will all be yours when you choose to join our team!
