KLN Family Brands is a third-generation family-owned company that began in 1964. Together, our companies manufacture a diverse and growing range of high-quality food products for people and pets. At KLN Family Brands, our vision is that “we are a proudly people-centered company. We are successful because of relationships built on trust and premium products for our families and friends. We make the world better by caring for others. We Challenge. We Grow. We Inspire.” Some companies have to “dress up the story” a bit. Some need a little extra “spin” to project a positive image of themselves. That’s not who we are at KLN Family Brands, and it’s not what we do. We tell the story of our brand: our people, the quality of our products, our spirit and determination, our heritage, and the way we treat our community and beyond. We do it genuinely because we truly believe we are a pretty amazing company.

KLN Family Brands is a company located in Perham, Minnesota that manufactures a diverse and expanding range of human and pet food products that adapt to customer preferences. Three manufacturing companies fall under the KLN Family Brands umbrella: Tuffy’s Pet Foods, Tuffy's Treat Company & Cannery, and Kenny’s Candy & Confections. Whether the products are intended for our families or pets, KLN Family Brands strives to make each and every product exceptional.
What’s in a name? “KLN” are the initials of former CEO Kenny Nelson, one of the founding members of the business. Kenny is the son of Tuffy’s Pet Foods founder, Tuffy Nelson, and the father of current KLN CEO, Charlie Nelson.
We believe that the history and success of KLN Family Brands is a direct result of our commitment to our employees and community. We have always believed that “family” is the most important part of the company’s name. Why? Because it’s family that speaks to who we are: a 3rd generation, family-owned company, producing quality brands & products for families by a team of dedicated employees in a family-friendly community.
