Citing the exceptional circumstances regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, organiser of Interzoo, WZF, has taken the decision to postpone the leading pet supplies tradefair, Interzoo to beyond 2020. WZF said it had taken the decision following intense discussions with its organising partner, NürnbergMesse and other interested parties.
The organisers are now working on a new time-slot beyond 2020. “Interzoo attracts leading companies of the pet supplies industry from around the world. Against the background of the current situation involving health hazards, travelling restrictions and constraints of movement, large-scale economic damage and other adverse factors, we consider it impossible to still offer a tradeshow in 2020 which lives up to the expectation the industry at large,” said Norbert Holthenrich, President of the German Pet Trade and Industry Association, ZZF, the honorary sponsor of Interzoo.
“As we are speaking, the majority of companies are finding themselves in crisis mode and certainly not geared to plan and prepare the presentation of their products and services at a tradefair,” he added.
“Our primary objective is to find a solution that serves the interests of our exhibitors and visitors,” said Dr Rowena Arzt, Director of Exhibitions at WZF, “because Interzoo’s status as the world’s leading tradefair for pet supplies depends hugely on the exhibitors’ commitment, their well-focused preparation and presentation at the show and, of course, on the ideal mix of trade visitors.”
