Explore our diverse portfolio of high-performance natural formulations engineered for modern feline hygiene needs.
As a global force in the pet supplies industry, Tom's Family operates under the corporate umbrella of the Shengyu Group. We run a world-class manufacturing plant that pairs standard manufacturing practices with advanced laboratories, strict quality control protocols, and efficient logistics. This approach positions us as one of the premier OEM/ODM partners for pet food and hygiene brands worldwide.
We provide full-process customization from initial recipe testing to international transport logistics. Our facilities process natural minerals, plant raw materials, and organic wood waste to create bentonite, tofu, cassava, and wood fiber cat litters. Backed by proprietary technologies, we assist brands in matching market expectations and expanding their share of the premium pet retail sector.
The global market is shifting from mineral base materials to renewable resources. Wood fiber represents the standard in eco-pet hygiene.
Upon contact with moisture, our modified plant fibers form tight clumps that do not break apart when scooped. This performance keeps the rest of the litter tray dry and clean.
Rather than hiding odors under synthetic perfumes, our wood fibers use capillary structures to trap ammonia and hydrogen sulfide molecules, neutralizing them naturally.
Our production line uses multiple dedusting steps to remove fine particulates. This limits respiratory irritation for cats and keeps their owners' homes cleaner.
Made from organic wood, agricultural residues, and natural binders, our litter dissolves in water. It can be flushed down toilets or used in industrial composting systems.
Under our R&D roadmap, wood fiber cat litter is more than a simple natural material; it is a structured product built on wood-particle science.
Historically, early wood litters did not clump well or tracking was common. By working with timber research labs, Tom's Family has addressed these design limits through a multi-stage production process:
| Technological Phase | Technical Challenge | Our Manufacturing Solution | Performance Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiber Deconstruction | Inconsistent moisture absorption from raw wood chips. | High-pressure steam explosion processing to expand the cellular capillary system of softwoods. | Moisture absorption rates up to 500% by dry weight. |
| Organic Binder Integration | Chemical glues cause issues for feline health. | A dry-mixing process using food-grade starch, guar gum, and natural binders. | Forms firm clumps within 3 seconds of contact with liquids. |
| Rotary Micro-Granulation | Lightweight particles cling to paws and track outside the box. | Mechanical consolidation that produces dense, rounded granules. | Limits tracking on floors and reduces cleanup around the litter box. |
| Sterilization & Dedusting | Residual mold spores or fine wood dust. | Drying at 120°C followed by a triple-screening process. | Ensures a sanitary, dust-free product with a long shelf life. |
Our research team is developing color-changing indicators that respond to changes in feline urine pH. This provides early indicators of urinary tract issues. Additionally, we are testing the addition of stable probiotics that work to consume odor-causing molecules inside the litter tray, extending the usable life of the litter.
Every regional market has distinct buyer preferences. We provide custom formulations that mix wood, tofu, and cassava to meet these varied demands.
Different regions lean toward different base materials. To support custom brand requirements, we offer balanced ingredient blends:
These blends help brands launch products tailored to their target demographic, whether the focus is on light weight, minimal dust, or maximum odor control.
How our smart production facilities safeguard quality and delivery schedules for global brands.
Our factory utilizes automated systems to track production from raw material intake to final container loading. Computerized batching ensures consistency across large orders, eliminating the variations common in manual setups.
To prevent delays, we maintain direct contracts with forestry management groups, securing a steady supply of clean softwood material year-round. Every production run undergoes quality checks, checking parameters like moisture percentage, dust levels, and clumping strength in our laboratory before shipment.

Every business relationship starts with a shared focus on quality. Here is the background behind our production methods.
Product performance depends on the raw materials used. We select wood fibers from managed softwood forests. Softwood fibers contain natural resins that help control bacterial growth and odor production. By drying and preparing these raw fibers, we avoid chemical treatments while preserving the natural absorption capabilities of the wood.
Our production lines process the raw wood through hot-air rotary dryers. This step controls moisture and eliminates mold spores. The dried fibers then pass through a system of multi-stage vibrating screens and air classifiers to remove fine dust, ensuring a clean, low-dust finished product.
We work with clients to develop formulations tailored to their specific markets. Options include adding natural scents like peach, green tea, or lavender, as well as modifying granule sizes to target specific performance profiles. Our packaging lines support direct branding, assisting clients in creating distinct, retail-ready products.
Our distribution team manages ocean freight, customs paperwork, and delivery coordination. By organizing logistics directly from our production site, we help secure container space and maintain consistent delivery windows for international clients.
Tom's Family works to provide brands with reliable private-label solutions. We adapt our operations to support both young brands establishing their first products and major retail chains looking for consistent large-scale capacity. From recipe design to final shipping, we focus on operational precision, environmental responsibility, and product performance.
Let's collaborate to build reliable, high-performance, and sustainable pet care products that support your brand's market growth.
