How long have you been visiting Interzoo, and what do you hope to gain from your visit?

When I was ten years old, my father took me to Interzoo. For a young animal lover like me, that was obviously the greatest thing ever. I have been visiting Interzoo ever since, always hoping to discover innovations and have in-depth discussions with suppliers, colleagues and friends.

 

How important is Interzoo for your professional activities and the success of your company?

Interzoo is very important for my work. It provides an opportunity to identify trends early on, engage in direct discussions with manufacturers and make valuable contacts. While there are certainly other factors that contribute to a company's success, a visit to Interzoo always has a very positive, motivating effect on our performance.

 

In your opinion, what is special about Interzoo and what does it stand for?

In my opinion, Interzoo's diversity is what makes it special, even though we were missing some suppliers from the German market. Interzoo gives me the opportunity to see and learn a lot in a relatively short time, and to engage in discussions.

 

What are your expectations for the upcoming Interzoo 2026, and what are you personally looking forward to in particular?

We're not just going to Interzoo to drink coffee; I expect us to return with innovations, ideas and concepts. And Interzoo definitely offers that opportunity. I'm particularly looking forward to meeting colleagues from the industry and exchanging ideas, whether about product ranges, day-to-day business or soccer.

Thank you very much for talking to us!
