Zooplus, a leading European online pet supply retailer, is implementing organizational changes that could result in job reductions affecting approximately six percent of its workforce. CFO Steffen Schüller emphasized that while these decisions were difficult, they are essential for maintaining long-term competitiveness in a challenging market. The company will concentrate its operations on key hubs in Munich, Madrid, and Krakow, with its Munich headquarters relocating to a modern office space. Rising costs and shifting market dynamics have prompted Zooplus to restructure after years of expansion, though it will continue to operate in all its existing markets. Competitor Fressnapf has also recently announced slight staff reductions, highlighting industry-wide adjustments.
