WEST PAW
What are your main goals and expectations for participating in this edition of the trade show?
“Our main goal is to meet existing and new customers and show them the new developments from West Paw. Especially the Zoomark is a great opportunity to meet existing and new customers from all around the world at one place.”
Could you briefly share your company’s history and what sets you apart in the pet industry?
“We're committed to decreasing our environmental footprint—er, pawprint—while increasing our positive impact.
West Paw is proud to be family owned and operated since 1996. Since the very beginning, we’ve incorporated thoughtful design into our eco-friendly and easy-clean toys. We care about every step in the process—every hand and paw that goes into product design, testing, manufacturing and enjoyment.
So how do we define ‘responsibly made?’ It means we manufacture everything with care using safe, sustainable materials that are better for the earth, for our workers, and for our pets. And it means our entire team of passionate pet people are valued and cared for as part of the West Paw family—from our American production teams, to our select domestic and international partners who deliver exceptional quality with ethical practices.
For you, it means you can trust that you’re purchasing high-quality pet products made with passion and integrity. Everything we make is long-lasting, lovingly handcrafted—and always safe for pets, people, and the planet.”
How important is sustainability to your company, and what initiatives have you implemented to reduce environmental impact or contribute to social development projects?
“We do more than make toys. We make a difference.
Dedicated to the pets we love, the people who care for them, and the planet we all share. When you care about something as much as we care about the people and pets in our community, you make the time and effort to contribute to their health and happiness.
We were the first pet manufacturer becoming a B Corp certified company. «Our work is to use our business as a force for good to help future generations enjoy a healthy planet, productive work, and strong communities» says CEO/President Spencer Williams.
And West Paw was also one of the founders and still a member of PSC (Pet Sustainability Coalition).”
