Pets At Home Publisher Expands
Pet publishing company Magnet & Steel, the Wales based company that produces a range of 195 pet-themed wall calendars for pet superstore Pets at Home, has increased its warehousing facility at its Cowbridge site, in preparation for expansion into U.S. markets.
The company has invested £430,000 to open a new 11,000 sq ft business unit. It has a £7m turnover and last year sold over 200,000 calendars.
Company Director, Neil Taylor told The Western Mail:
"We hope to break the American pet market on a similar basis to its UK operation.
"There is also the opportunity to replicate the business model into other markets, designing, producing and supplying books, cards and calendars to other retail sectors."
