Dieter Hagen marks 50 years with Rolf C. Hagen
Jan 21, 2010
When Dieter Hagen moved from his native Germany to Canada to join his brother Rolf's birdseed business in 1959, he could have never imagined the huge multinational diversified pet products company that Rolf C. Hagen would grow into. In late 2009, Dieter Hagen celebrated his 50-year anniversary with the company - and his 'family business' enjoys the distinction of being the largest privately owned specialty pet company in the world, selling everything from fish aquariums and small animal habitats, to premium dog and cat foods. Everyone who knows Dieter Hagen agrees he has been a major force in this astounding entrepreneurial story, along with his brothers Rolf and Horst.
