An 8 per cent increase in the exhibition area compared with 2012, a record number of 964 exhibitors, a significant rise in the number of stands reserved, more new products than ever and visitor figures up by around 5 per cent: the Global Pet Expo on 20-22 February in Orlando was on top form once again this year. This makes the fair increasingly attractive to even wholesalers and leading store chains from all over the world. Buyers travelled to Orlando from 65 countries this year to talk to their suppliers, seek out new products and form an impression of the latest trends.
