VetPlus sees massive export growth

Lytham based VetPlus, is maximising its international potential with a 35% increase in exports year on year. VetPlus, a division of the Tangerine Group, was founded in 1995 and is a global leader in Veterinary Nutraceuticals, selling its products for dogs and cats exclusively through veterinary practices in 30 countries worldwide.

Already successful in many countries including Taiwan, Norway, Portugal, Spain, New Zealand and India, South Korea is by far the biggest growth market and the opportunity to develop in other parts of the world is huge.

Neil Pullar International Sales Director for VetPlus said: “We have seen a dramatic rise in exports over the last five years as the market for nutraceuticals has grown. People love their pets and can see the benefits in investing in preventative treatment for their animals."

The Tangerine Group’s wide portfolio of animal health and wellbeing products has helped it reach an annual turnover approaching £20 million (€15 million) with a staff of 150.

The company has grown both organically and by acquisition over the past sixteen years and now has eleven limited companies within its three divisions: veterinary, farming and equine including wholly owned subsidiaries in Ireland, Spain and Germany.
