Beaphar produced its first flea collar in 1983. Henk Aa (Daan's father and CEO at the time) first saw the product while travelling abroad. He immediately saw the potential, knowing this was something Beaphar should manufacture in-house. Sketching out designs on the plane ride home, Henk and the technical team developed Beaphar's first flea collar production line.
Today, Beaphar produces 12 million flea collars annually, making it the largest manufacturer of flea collars in the world.
