Sergeant’s has a proven record of innovation, high quality manufacturing with great customer service. We welcome Sergeant’s two hundred-plus employees and over one thousand SKU’s to the Perrigo family. This is a first step in executing on our strategy to expand our Consumer Healthcare portfolio into pet care, an adjacency of interest to our retail customers. We are excited to bring quality and value to consumers and their extended families.”
