Fressnapf acquires Pet Vision

With effect from 1 January 2011, the Fressnapf Group will become the sole proprietor of its Swiss subsidiary Pet Vision. Rolf Styger, managing director of Pet Vision, will sell his shares in the company to Fressnapf owner Torsten Toeller, according to a press release by Fressnapf. Toeller held 35 per cent of the shares in the Swiss company hitherto. Rolf Styger and his team had attained an excellent position in the Swiss trade in recent years and laid the foundations for future market leadership, said Toeller. The aim now was to increase market share further. Styger will continue to head Pet Vision AG probably until the middle or end of 2011.
