About Hagen Group
Trusted, Canadian family-run business for 70 years
It’s in our DNA Hagen Group’s story began in 1955, when Rolf C. Hagen founded the company that bore his name, built on his reputation of integrity and excellence. Shortly after arriving in Canada, he began exporting bird seeds back to his native Germany. The arrival of his brothers, Dieter and Horst, helped the Hagen Company grow into one of the world’s most respected manufacturers and distributors of pet supplies. The Hagen Company has remained a thriving family-owned business known for its innovation. The family tradition continues with the next generation of Hagen leadership, with Rolf Hagen Jr at the helm, together with his brothers Tom and Mark, forging a global reputation for pet product excellence.
The deep love of animals that inspired Rolf C. Hagen to start a pet supply business in 1955 is the same passion driving the company today.
