With the country pavilions, Interzoo once again offered international exhibitors a particularly attractive opportunity to take part in the world's leading trade fair for the pet industry. Thanks to the turnkey concepts and services provided by their organisers, joint stands are not only convenient and cost-effective. They also enjoy a high level of trust among visitors and, through their unified appearance, achieve strong external visibility, which can lead to increased footfall at the stands.
At Interzoo 2026, China, France, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Canada, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan, the Czech Republic and the USA were represented with their own country pavilions. For the first time, Turkey, Thailand and Spain were represented with a joint stand.
Debut of US-partner Kallmann Worldwide Inc.
The USA's country pavilion in Hall 7 was organised for the first time by Kallmann Worldwide Inc., Interzoo's official US partner. It was supported by the two associations WPA (World Pet Association) and APPA (American Pet Products Association).
58 of the 108 US exhibitors at Interzoo 2026 were part of the American Partnership Pavilion. Companies spanning pet food, accessories, pet food technology, consulting, and marketing impressively demonstrated the breadth of the American pet industry, whose home market generated $158 billion in revenue last year.
The American Partnership Pavilion also attracted visitors with engaging talks in its specially designed presentation area, 'The FORUM', which quickly became the go-to spot for all Interzoo participants interested in the US market. Over three days of the fair, experts took to the so-called 'Oppawtunity Stage' to present trends in the US market and share key insights into entering the world's largest pet market. The sessions offered numerous networking opportunities and highlighted the potential of the country pavilions at Interzoo.
“We are delighted with the successful debut of Kallmann Worldwide Inc. The American Partnership Pavilion and 'The FORUM' certainly contributed to the high professional standard of Interzoo 2026. We say, “Danke & Thank You” and are already looking forward to working together again at Interzoo 2028,” says Dr Rowena Arzt, Head of Exhibitions at Interzoo organiser WZF GmbH.
