The industry is preparing for its main bi-annual event: the Interzoo in Nuremberg!
Some of us will go there as exhibitors, others as visitors.
And all of us will see an offer which will be again unprecedented in the history of the industry.
The real challenge – for exhibitors and visitors alike - [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s now about a year ago that the petfood industry faced – at least in certain parts of the world – massive recalls, probably unprecedented in the history of the industry.
Since then a lot of debate broke out with the aim to try and solve “the problem” for good.
Solutions brought to the table range from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There appears to be some statistical evidence that in mature markets (no market is saturated before having achieved close to 100% penetration and calorific coverage), the majority of growth is represented by new products. In fact, new products and their introductions drive our business. More from a value than from a volume point of view.

		<description><![CDATA[It has been prophesied before: the industry is on the eve of another round of consolidation.
Until now it was the league of the big players that dominated the acquisition-scene, but I am convinced that the time has come for the 2nd league to enter a consolidation-phase; because companies in this league, the incorporation of which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In conversations I have with people in the industry, searching for and selecting distributors occasionally is a topic. And so it turns out that different people have - sometimes very - different ideas as to the definition of distributor.
To some a distributor is nothing but a logistics vehicle, maybe stocking product for their own account [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When observing today’s dog and catfood market in W.Europe I can not help but think that it has lost its drive and dynamism. This once vibrant and challenging market has become dull and predictable.
The (unexpected?) high impact of private labels/own brands - or whatever the current buzz-word may be - looks to be one of [...]]]></description>

This phenomenon looks to be the continuation of a business-model that has been developped in the dim-and-distant past; i.e. the manufacturer’s thinking that the next station to be reached was [...]]]></description>

The challenge was twofold:  expansion and cooperation.
Why? The industry has seen slow growth over the last years; therefore expansion most likely has not been more [...]]]></description>
