More than 100 companies have confirmed their attendance at PATS 2025 with still nearly nine months to go before the exhibition.
The trade show will be staged at the NEC Birmingham for the first time this year, on September 28-30.

Organisers highlighted the growing international reputation of the event, illustrated by the early exhibitor stand bookings of Belgian company Flamingo Pet Products and German brands Flexi and Trixie.
Flamingo Pet Products will be exhibiting at PATS for the first time and the company’s global head of sales and marketing Dave Diels said his team was excited by the prospect of showcasing the company’s products in the UK.
He said: “Flamingo Pet Products has over 50 years of pet excellence, offering over 8,500 snacks and accessories for pets. With expertise in private label, trusted sourcing, and a 95%+ service level, we ensure pet owners worldwide enjoy top-quality products.”
PATS event director Gordon Thomas added: “The demand for stand space at PATS has been great, with many exhibitors booking larger stands as they seek to take advantage of the extra space that the NEC provides.
“It’s always exciting to reach certain milestones like breaking through the 100-exhibitor mark so soon – it shows there is a real appetite for PATS 2025 and that the move to the NEC has been really warmly welcomed.”
