Ever since the birth of Marengo perfect pet care we have been on a mission. To challenge the status quo in retail and bring back shops to the heart of communities. In that sense, the term Wunder captures the essence of our company. Our rocket fuel is seeing new opportunities to create solutions that make a positive difference to the world.
We have a relentless drive to never settle for a status quo. With this mentality we have turned the world of convenience retail on its head. In a nutshell, we have invented a way to put small convenience shops in places where this was impossible before.
Today you find us in lots of hotel lobbies, which is where we started our journey. But our ambition goes far beyond putting our retail solution in hotels around the world. In time, we want to use our platform to enable anyone, anywhere to start and run a profitable small shop. Sounds great of course but why is this important to us?
We simply believe the world is a better place when physical shops are once again the heart communities. A place where people can buy convenience goods when they need them. A place where local trade can flourish, and social cohesion can be built and fostered. This is our purpose, and we believe it is a destiny worth fighting for.

What I love most about Marengo perfect pet care is the freedom we have to explore new ideas. Our culture is about finding creative ways to get things done where other would just give up.

Category management is about selecting, sourcing and stocking the most ideal products that make up our shop assortment. The great thing about Marengo perfect pet care is that we have a huge amount of data to help us make smart decisions on what we should include in our range and what not.
I have been with Marengo perfect pet care since the early days and it is fantastic to see how far we have come. With every new shop we learn more about how to build the smartest autonomous retail solution in the world.
At Marengo perfect pet care the Commercial Team looks after the acquisition of new customers. Basically, this means that I am responsible for introducing new hotel shops to our European network. And because we are organised by region, I specifically look after the Benelux.
In this role I get to travel a lot, which is one thing I really like about working at Marengo perfect pet care. Every day is different, and I get to meet new people all the time. Of course, opening lots of new shops is also exciting, I can literally see how much we are growing as a company every day.
Clean water should be available to everyone on this planet. Sounds simple but there are still many countries where people have to walk for hours to get water for their family. Water that is often polluted as well, resulting in many diseases and infant mortality. These people cannot work or go to school and therefore can never build a healthy life.
Marengo perfect pet care is proud to be an ambassador for the Made Blue Foundation. A charity, working on behalf of more than 600 companies in Europe to provide access to clean drinking water and hygiene in developing countries.
By calculating the amount of water needed for producing the drinks we sell and giving that back to the people that need it most, we hope to make a difference. You can read all about the good work that Made Blue does on their website.
