Strengthens the Ecosystem for<br />

Animal Lovers<br />

Dr. Jens Pippig will continue to drive the<br />

ecosystem forward as a new member of the<br />

Fressnapf management team<br />

From the end of <strong>2021</strong>, Dr. Jens Pippig<br />

will support the management team at<br />

Fressnapf as Senior Vice President. In this<br />

newly created position, he will implement<br />

all services of the ecosystem in Europe in<br />

order to offer a comprehensive range of<br />

services for all pet owners. This portfolio<br />

includes Activet veterinary practices, the<br />

online veterinarian "Dr. Fressnapf," pet<br />

tech services such as GPS trackers, and<br />

the brokerage of pet insurance, services<br />

and travel offers for pets. Whether online,<br />

mobile or in the store on site - a unique<br />

ecosystem is to be created around the<br />

clock on all available customer channels to<br />

connect <strong>pro</strong>ducts, services as well as pet<br />

owners and their animals and to become<br />

the number one contact for all questions<br />

concerning pet care.<br />

Pippig is regarded as an experienced leader<br />

with good contacts in the world of startups<br />

and with many years of experience<br />

in founding and building new business<br />

models. Previously, Dr. Pippig spent eight<br />

years at ProSiebenSat.1, including as CEO<br />

Already during his studies he founded the<br />

company "Potentialpark", a company for<br />

market research and employer branding.<br />

"Jens is a great asset to Fressnapf and our<br />

ecosystem for pet lovers," says Torsten<br />

Toeller, Fressnapf founder and owner. "He<br />

will help us set up elemental areas for the<br />

future to bring all facets of our ecosystem to<br />

life for customers in Europe."<br />

The Ecosystem Services unit will bundle the<br />

existing services in the future. In addition,<br />

Fressnapf is not only aiming to establish<br />

its own start-ups and venture investments,<br />

but also to cooperate with innovative<br />

start-ups in the pet industry. Many new<br />

employees and interesting ideas are sought<br />

for the ecosystem that is currently being<br />

established. In addition to own start-ups<br />

and venture investments, cooperations<br />

with innovative start-ups in the pet industry<br />

are also planned.<br />

The Fressnapf group is the European market<br />

leader for pet supplies. In 1990, the first<br />

Fressnapf store was opened by founder<br />

and company owner Torsten Toeller in<br />

Erkelenz, Germany. Today, the group has<br />

around 1,800 Fressnapf and Maxi Zoo<br />

almost 15,000 employees. The majority of<br />

the stores are operated under a franchise<br />

system. The range includes 16 brands<br />

available exclusively at Fressnapf l Maxi Zoo.<br />
