Deizisau, june 2022 –The French trade journal "Animal Distribution Magazine" gives awards (in the form of gold, silver, or bronze trophies) to various brands and products in the pet sector every year. EHEIM regularly wins the coveted Animal Challenge trophies in the aquatics segment. And did so again this year!
In France there is a comparatively much higher number of fish enthusiasts and aquarists than in Germany. Accordingly, EHEIM has constantly grown its business here in recent years.
This is particularly evident in the annual market surveys conducted by "Animal Distribution Magazine", in which sales professionals and buyers in the industry, among others, assess the products and brands in various categories. The brands are ranked by practicality, efficiency, user-friendliness, handling, ergonomics, safety, design, environmental protection, innovation, logistics, distribution dynamics, sales support etc.
This time, EHEIM was not only rated "Best Brand in the Pet Industry in France” but was also awarded the Gold Trophy as "Best Brand in Aquaristics" as well as the bronze trophy in the garden pond sector.
The successful performance in the "Aquaristics" category was mainly due to the recent technological developments and innovations under the "EHEIM Digital" strategy, where the range of electronically controlled and networked equipment has increased. The products are designed to create an interactive, self-managed aquarium environment and optimal conditions for aquarium maintenance. A prime example is the electronically controlled EHEIM external filter professionel 5e, plus the LEDcontrol+ lighting control, the thermocontrol+e aquarium heater, the autofeeder+ feed automate, the climacontrol+ air conditioning unit and the CO2 night shut-off.
The "Trophée de bronze" in the pond category was awarded to EHEIM for its extensive, high-quality garden pond range. This includes everything you need to operate or set up a biotope in the garden: from pond pumps and filters to UVC clarifiers, pond aerators, sludge extractors and ice-free holders. Even a high-pressure cleaner is part of the range. There are even alternatives to the foil pond: four smaller prefabricated pools (pond trays) made of robust, recyclable ABS plastic are offered under the name EHEIM LAKE.
The presentation of the Animal Challenge trophies took place on 30 June in a ceremonial setting in Paris on a ship on the Seine. EHEIM Managing Director Ibrahim Mefire Kouotou, who was also honoured as "Manager of the Year", accepted the awards and thanked the actors of the "Animal Distribution Magazine" as well as the survey participants. He emphasised how important the market in France is for EHEIM and promised to continue their close and friendly cooperation: vive la France.
