A leading supplier for pet products

When the company was first established in the 1980s as Aquarium Poland, no-one suspected that it would one day become one of the market leaders in the pet supplies sector. Although its core business initially comprised the breeding and export of ornamental fish, the company began to import pet products and sell them in Poland in 1988. Close cooperation with Trixie Now known as P.W. Hobby, the company took a major step forward in 1994 by concluding a cooperation agreement with German firm Trixie.

Hobby also entered into cooperation soon after with the pet food manufacturer Interquell, another German company that produces the Happy Dog and Happy Cat brands. Other well-known brands followed, which P.W. Hobby distributes exclusively for the most part in the domestic market: Flexi, Dr. Alder's, Tropical and Imac, to name a few.
