Dibevo Trade Fair bigger, more surprising and more positive than ever

The Evenementenhal in Gorinchem will once again transform into the meeting place for the pet industry on 28 and 29 September: The Dibevo Trade Fair 2025 in the Netherlands promises to be the largest and most international edition to date. Under the motto “Make me smile”, the focus is on optimism, inspiration and new opportunities. Not only innovation takes centre stage, but also atmosphere and experience.

Covering more than 14,500 m², the Dibevo Trade Fair is no less than 30% larger than in 2023. A total of 135 exhibitors will participate, over a quarter of them from Belgium, Germany, England, France and Poland. Remarkably, one third of the companies have never exhibited before. For visitors this means an appealing mix of well-known names and surprising newcomers.

The trade fair traditionally attracts more than 4,000 pet professionals, ranging from independent pet shops and grooming salons to buyers from garden centres and webshops. Increasingly, international visitors are also finding their way to the Dibevo Trade Fair to explore the Dutch and Belgian markets.

In this edition, start-ups will take to the stage in the StartUp Spot, where eight young companies will present their first steps in the industry. Another new addition is the Animal Care Pavilion, with a specific focus on products and services related to animal care.

Another highlight is the Showstoppers Pavilion. Each exhibitor presents one unique or promising product. Visitors vote for their favourite and stand a chance to win one of two Samsung TVs raffled among the voters. In addition, a professional jury selects the winner of the prestigious Dibevo Best of Show Award.
