Jebsen Group acquires Hong Kong pet care retailer Vetopia 

Jebsen Group has acquired Hong Kong online pet care retailer Vetopia, less than four months after its foray into the pet care and retail industry through the acquisition of ADP Group

The value of the deal has yet to be disclosed. 

Vetopia was founded by spouses David Gething and Trilby White in 2015 as an e-commerce platform offering veterinary pet foods, pet supplements, accessories, and pet care products. The platform’s portfolio of brands includes Royal Canin, Hill’s, Natural Animal Solutions, and Vetopia’s own brand Animalkind. 

“We have been closely monitoring Vetopia’s progress and have witnessed its tremendous growth potential not only in Hong Kong but also on the Chinese mainland,” said Alexander Spitzy, COO of Jebsen Group and MD of Jebsen Consumer. 

“Vetopia offers significant opportunities for us to not only penetrate the domestic market but also expand our presence further into Greater China.”

Under the acquisition, Gething will join Jebsen Group’s pet segment management team, which oversees the operation of Vetopia and ADP Group.  

Jebsen Group’s operations include the distribution and retailing of brands as diverse as Casio, Bollinger Champagne and Porsche and it operates the J Select electronics retail business.
