Innovative products of excellent quality and high functionality, reliability, and customer-oriented service determine the success of the company that is one of the leading enterprises of the pet branch.
In 2009, Karlie was integrated into the newly founded Pet Products Group GmbH (PPG), which also includes the company Flamingo NV in Belgium and its own production sites in Eastern Europe and China, among others. Due to this merger, the customers now have access to the know-how and the bundled strengths of the companies.
