CatIt is a subsidiary of the Hagen Group. Founded by Rolf C. Hagen in 1955, Hagen has grown to become the world's largest privately-owned, multi-national pet products manufacturer and distributor. We are driven by a common bond of love and compassion for animals. Underlying our entire philosophy is one simple and immutable fact: Pets are not only the heart of our business, they are the reason we are in business.
