What Beeztees does
Beeztees, legally International Pet Trade Service (IPTS) B.V., is a Netherlands-based wholesale distributor of pet toys and accessories, headquartered in Waalwijk and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dutch holding company Pet Supplies Beheer. The company distributes over 5,000 items across five pet categories (dogs, cats, rodents, birds, fish) globally, anchored by a portfolio of proprietary brands including the core Beeztees brand, the eco-friendly sub-brand Minus One by Beeztees, the lifestyle brand Designed by Lotte, and specialized product lines such as Sumo rubber dog toys, Cat Cubes modular habitats, and Parinca premium nylon walking accessories. Founded in 1969 and rebranded to Beeztees in May 2014, the company employs approximately 95 people and refreshes its assortment with more than 1,000 new items annually.
The company operates a B2B wholesale go-to-market targeting pet retailers, garden centers, and wholesale distributors across Europe and internationally, with revenue generated through bulk orders to business partners on 30-day payment terms ex-warehouse. Beeztees supports retailer relationships through value-added services including category management, shop fitting advice, private label manufacturing, the PetTradePortal online ordering platform, EDI-based automated data exchange (XML/CSV), direct container shipment logistics via Schenker, and a weekly-updated high-resolution image database. Distribution is reinforced by participation in major trade fairs (Interzoo, Anido, TRE, Dogpop, GRS) and supported by content marketing assets including the Beeztees Inspiration Magazine and customer journey research whitepapers.
In 2018, parent company Pet Supplies Beheer acquired 100% of German pet company Karlie Flamingo GmbH, expanding the group's footprint into Germany and broader European markets. Sustainability is operationally embedded through the Minus One sub-brand (using REPREVE recycled fibers, compostable materials, FSC-certified components) and through logistics optimization that the company reports as saving 270,000 kilos of cardboard, 585,000 km of driving distance, and over 400 tons of CO2 emissions annually. The company has received industry recognition including the GlobalPETS Forum Award 2021 for Exclusive Brands and the 2018 Welkoop Award for best 'thinking along' supplier.
