PIF to support UK pet businesses at Interzoo

 

The Pet Industry Federation will be exhibiting at Interzoo 2026, the world’s leading international trade fair for the pet industry, taking place in Nuremberg from 12-15 May.

 

PIF will be located on stand 9-429, where the team will be supporting both UK businesses looking to export and international companies seeking to bring products into the UK market.

 

As part of its growing focus on international trade, PIF is positioning itself as a key gateway for businesses navigating the UK pet sector. Visitors to the stand will be able to access guidance on routes to market, regulatory considerations and opportunities for collaboration within one of Europe’s most established pet markets. Chief Executive, Nigel Baker, will also be delivering a talk during the show entitled, ‘Doing Business with the UK - What to Consider When Importing and Exporting’.

 

Throughout the show, PIF will host a programme of expert guests on the stand, offering practical insight and advice for businesses at different stages of their export or import journey. Whether exploring new markets or looking to establish a presence in the UK, attendees are encouraged to visit the stand to discuss their plans and find out how PIF can support them.

 

To support businesses in preparing for international opportunities, PIF is also hosting an Export Briefing event in London for its members on 15 April, designed to help pet businesses understand how to approach overseas markets and build export readiness. Members interested in attending can email alexandra.baker@petfederation.co.uk for further information.

 

Interzoo is a global meeting point for the pet industry, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers and service providers from across the world. The event provides a valuable platform for UK businesses to expand internationally, while also enabling overseas companies to better understand the opportunities and requirements of entering the UK market.
