C&S Products Company, Inc. was founded in 1986 with the mission of producing the highest quality wildlife specialty food and feeding accessory products available for the U.S. Wild Bird Feeding market. Our company’s commitment to quality and unique innovative feeding products enables us to lead the industry in wildlife acceptance and consumer satisfaction continues to fuel our annual growth. The challenges this growth brings is what keeps our team of dedicated employees motivated to continually improve every aspect of our company daily.

C&S is committed to continue being the wild bird feeding industry’s leader in the following:

• New & Unique Product Development

• Broad Wildlife Acceptance

• Customer & Retailer Value

• Consumer Satisfaction

• Shipping Lead Times

• Order Fill Rate

• GMROI (for all our customers)

Other wild bird supply companies had attempted to create the wild bird suet category for over 40 years before we started, but all were largely unsuccessful. What we did differently came from our agricultural background of using animal fats combined with information we learned from having our own EPA approved testing lab for over 20 years. This knowledge allowed us to produce the best wild bird food attractants ever used in the wild bird feeding hobby. Consumer success in attracting a much larger variety of wild birds to their feeding habitat is what makes C&S the success we are today.

We continue to test, challenge, and reevaluate the Wild Bird and Squirrel Feed industry daily. We have seen the wild Bird Suet category grow from being a minimal item to become the #1 profit producing section of the wild bird category. C&S’s success has led us to expand into other areas of the wildlife and wild bird feeding hobbies. We released a squirrel food line with patented products, a bird seed cake line with unprecedented quality and developed a Wild Bird Nuggets line offering 7 flavors giving the Birders a new way to attract more songbirds. We also have unique patented Nuggets feeders for the serious hobbyist.

C&S Products was purchased by Central Garden and Pet Company in 2019. Central Garden and Pet is a Fortune 700 company with over 8,000 employees.
