The World Pet Association (WPA) has awarded Hagen’s late chairman, Rolf C. Hagen, the Matsui Award at the pet trade industry SuperZoo 2013 in Las Vegas. Deemed the organisation’s highest honour, the Matsui Award is named after former WPA board president Jiro Matsui, and is presented to honour lifetime contributions to the pet industry.
The WPA described Rolf C. Hagen as “one of those select few who gave so much back to the industry he loved”.
