Premiere for ZoorfExpo
The Swedish Pet Trade Organization (Zoorf) is organizing the ZoorfExpo trade fair taking place in Stockholm on 18-19 October. The show is being staged for the first time and is regarded as an important meeting place for the Scandinavian pet product trade. It is the first Swedish speciality fair since the Swede Pet Expo of 1997. Zoorf has been working on preparations for this show for some years and says it has received substantial support from suppliers. ZoorfExpo was already virtually fully booked two months prior to the show. More than 50 exhibitors, most of them from Sweden but also including manufacturers from the USA, the Czech Republic, China and the UK, will present their products in an area of 2 000 m². Over 600 guests will attend the fair reception and banquet.
Plans are in hand to stage the fair every two years.
Zoo-Zajac planning a 6 000 m² pet store
Zoo-Zajac, one of Europe’s leading aquatics mail-order businesses and organizer of numerous trade exhibitions, is moving to a 25 000 m² site in Duisburg-Neumühl on 15 November 2004. The company is to create a 6 000 m² pet product store spread across three rooms in the premises it has acquired and will stock a full range of products. The building will give Zoo-Zajac 13 000 m² of covered space in all. In a further stage of development, an open-air farm zoo is to open on 1 May 2005. Managing director Norbert Zajac estimates the amount invested in the purchase of the building and forthcoming refurbishment works at approx. 3 mio euro.
