"Like a university"

We consider Interzoo to be the most important European trade show there is. We don't just go to sell products and build our brands, although that's very much part of our mission statement for Interzoo. We also go to meet the suppliers and manufacturers of our products and to look for new ones. It's a melting pot of the worldwide pet industry. Miss it at your peril - we once did and for two years our sales in Europe flat lined!Carina Evans, CEO, Dog Rocks

Since I was 18 years old I have visited every single Interzoo, so this unique event is for me a celebration of the pet business. This special venue is full of business opportunities and news. Always exciting for me.Dušan Placek, CEO, Placek Group

We're looking forward to meeting customers old and new and updating them on some of our great new products - as well as the firm favourites that continue to be bestsellers. We always look forward to the event and this year is no exception.Angela Critchley, International Marketing Director, PetSafe

Participation in the fair offers an opportunity to meet our long-term customers, whom we have no other opportunity to meet. We will introduce the new products we have prepared for them and look at ways of developing our cooperation further and increasing their sales. We also perceive the fair as an opportunity to find new markets for the litter Asan. We are particularly interested in the Russian Federation. Lenka Karafiatova, Marketing & Sales Manager, Tommi

From 1996 up to today I have never missed an Interzoo. I started my pet business in 1995 and I believe that if you want to be successful in the business, Interzoo is the most important platform for exploiting opportunities. Interzoo is like a university; you can amass lots of knowledge. I have been to many fairs all around the world, but Interzoo is the fair at which all the global companies get together. Interzoo is like a meeting point of suppliers, distributors and wholesalers. You can find innovative products and companies. If you are a regular visitor, you can easily find out which company can be trusted and which is temporary. As a result, I shall be there both to visit our suppliers' booths to see what's new, and to look out for new opportunities.Müjde Coskun, CEO, Petigen
