ALLIANCE WITH NATURE - HUGRO, THE RODGE-DEDICATED COMPANY

Imagine: Günter Leugers, a bird lover and canary breeder, is lugging heavy bird sand around in his aviaries. But then the rodent hero Günter comes up with a brilliant idea! He discovers hemp litter and voilà, a revolution in the world of rodents and birds is born!

In a dark garage, the HUGRO adventure begins. Günter, full of enthusiasm and with a touch of genius, was looking for a lighter alternative to bird sand. He came across hemp litter and what did he find? It was perfect for aviaries! With its fantastic moisture absorption, cleanliness and thermal insulation, Günter not only saved himself a lot of work, but also the hassle of cleaning the aviaries. The litter is organic and can therefore be easily disposed of.

From a cozy garage owner to a real manufacturer! The news about the great HUGRO hemp litter spread like wildfire among bird lovers. At first, the litter was only sold in large containers, but Günter decided to help his gnawing customers by packaging the waste in smaller containers after work. The success was so great that he eventually acquired the exclusive distribution rights for Germany. And guess what? Soon, smaller HUGRO packages also came onto the market for rodent owners. They gnawed their way into a whole new market and the company grew like a never-ending rodent dream!

But it doesn't stop at hemp litter. The HUGRO range has grown steadily thanks to ideas from customers, growers and partners, and of course the specialist trade. In addition to various types of litter, you can now also find food and rodent housing in their fantastic product portfolio. Company owner Günter, as a great nature lover, still attaches great importance to quality and sustainability. And that pays off! In 1990, HUGRO even won the "European Pet Product Award" for their hemp litter. In 2007, they became the proud winner of the innovation competition "Volière nest" with their active litter, made from hemp pellets.

But let's not forget who the real employees are at HUGRO - the animals themselves! A dedicated research team consisting of guinea pigs, degus, gerbils and countless other rodents ensures product tests every day. Without the strict assessment of these critical rodents, no new HUGRO product comes onto the market. Because who can judge the gnawability and coziness of their range better than the rodent experts themselves?

HUGRO, the rodent-savvy company, in perfect harmony with nature!
