Pet Podium products, a natural pet products company based in Maidenhead, has just secured a new international contract with a Canadian pet supplies company which is set to increase its annual turnover by 20% to £2.4m.
Founded in 2006 by three ex-athletes with a “passion for pets”, Pet Podium Products develops and manufactures a wellbeing and grooming range for domestic animals which includes aloe-enriched shampoo bars, soothing balms and odour eliminating candles.
The new deal will see the company’s complete wellbeing and grooming range stocked in 600 PetSmart stores across Canada with this expected to extend to the chain’s American stores as well.
The company’s flagship product Dog Rocks – a natural solution to prevent dog urine marks on grass, is already being sold across the 1500 PetSmart stores in the United States.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) has been supporting Pet Podium Products since 2012 with exporting advice, market reports and trade show access grants.
Carina Evans, CEO at Pet Podium Products, said: “Exporting was an important part of our business strategy from the very beginning. It was a no brainer as the North American market is huge with plenty of opportunity for a business like us.
“International contract wins are always exciting, and to be able to say that we have a relationship with all the major pet buyers in the United States and Canada is something that we are quite proud of.”
