Show report
“The huge response from the international pet supplies community shows that companies have a genuine need to meet face-to-face at the world-leading Interzoo fair and present their products directly to customers. This also holds true for conversations at the stands, discussions in the forums, and networking at the Interzoo Party.”

The varied supporting programme, with specialist conferences on specific domestic markets, the Fresh Ideas Stage as a presentation platform for innovative ideas and networking events such as the Interzoo Party, enabled visitors to network professionally and receive exciting inspiration from within the industry. In addition, one of the leading specialist conferences in the pet food sector, Petfood Forum Europe, took place for the second time the day prior to Interzoo 2024 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg.
Once again, the Product Showcase proved immensely popular at Interzoo 2024.
