The passion for animals began with the love for a Boxer. For Reinhard and Marlies Schulze, this was the cornerstone of their Boxer breeding and the beginning of a successful story. They would never have dreamed that a sailing trip would be the decisive impulse.
Our company site Porta Westfalica – the “Gate to Westphalia” – is our “gate to the world”. From here, we support customers and animal friends all over the world. As an internationally operating business, we are present at all relevant trade shows and assist our retail partners and our numerous breeders.
Our motto is “Feed healthily, instead of feeding until full”. Following this principle we had developed our own product line for cat and dog food, which we distribute under the umbrella brand “PORTA21”. That label guarantees high-quality products in the super-premium segment. For a steady improvement of our products, we closely work together with numerous experienced pet owners. Their continuous feedback and the reviews of our bloggers are a crucial aspect for the further development of our products.
We deeply care for the environment, which is why we use solar energy for our company buildings and focus on a responsible and sustainable handling of our natural resources.
