than a decade. "When we started selling internationally, we didn't say we were from Cape Town because way back then it was perceived as possibly 'third-world' production. Now we say upfront we're proudly made in South Africa, made in Cape Town," said Fuller. He added that despite the challenges that come with manufacturing locally, doing so is rewarding and Rogz is managing to cost-effectively produce a premium brand. "We compete well producing from Cape Town. We've got world-class factories. We've got world-class employees. Our teams are paid well, they're efficient and we've invested in good machinery. We're not creating a cheap manufacturing space. "Some of the challenges we have are that the surrounding industry that supports us isn't necessarily there; the textile industry has pretty much collapsed in South Africa. That's a big challenge. We have to import many textiles as only certain textiles are available here in South Africa, whereas if you're producing in China, for example, you have a massive textile industry around you that supplies. But we find ways around that," Fuller said. Retail distribution While Rogz relies on distribution partners abroad, this function is performed in-house in South Africa, which has helped the company nurture close relationships with local retail partners, many of whom are independents. As the specialty pet retail industry has hotted up over the years, large retail chains have taken note of the pet care category's potential. Brands such as Poetry, Zara and Country Road have all introduced fashionable collections for dogs, while in SA's competitive supermarket space, Shoprite Group launched its Petshop Science brand, rolling out specialty pet stores and a dedicated online pet store. Commenting on this evolving retail landscape and the expansion of big chains into specialty pet care, Raubenheime said, "We've watched these transitions in other markets and there's space for both. A lot of the independent pet stores have had to adapt over time to become more innovative - and it's exactly the same in every other industry. "We want to position our brand in the specialty sector. If there's not an educated person who will communicate with th consumer about how our product works, then we probably don't belong there."
