But that's not all: with 30 years of experience and success and having overcome many obstacles, Effeffe has developed in-deep knowledge of its field. In fact, we keep a very close eye on trends and innovations in the market, from the product and nutritional knowledge through to marketing and purchasing and consumption dynamics.
Our multi-sector, multi-channel experience spread over more than 20 countries around the world enables us to keep constantly up to date and anticipate trends and critical success factors.
Direct experience through the Pet360 brands gives us additional in-depth expertise in the specialised channel in Italy and abroad.
