The beginnings - inspired by extended stays abroad, two friends from Rheine had the idea of reusing coffee wood. Coffee wood is a by-product of coffee cultivation and had previously been unused. Initial contacts in Vietnam, from which deep friendships and two production sites developed over time.

Construction of the first production facility in Vietnam: a simple structure is built together in the Nguyen family's front yard. Here, we work with passion and manual labor for the first two years on the development and series-ready production of our products.

Double success: Germany is the word soccer champion and the first dog chew stick made of coffee wood is sold in Germany.

To coincide with Meghan and Harry's wedding, we are delivering the first chew sticks to the United Kingdom, and more European countries are joining them.

The EU adopts the Green Deal. We continue to work for a sustainable world and are building the second production facility in Vietnam.

The world is on lockdown and we are banishing the boredom of many dogs with over 1-million chew sticks produced.

Off to new shores. The CANOPHERA family continues to grow. Together with Rob, we are building CANOPHERA LLC in the USA to make dogs there happy with our chew sticks, too.

Our natural chews are finding new markets. We're delighted to be expanding to Spain, Japan, Ukraine, Denmark, Hong Kong, and Austria.

New product innovations. Over the years, we have become experts in the field of dog chews. Tastes differ; challenge accpeted! The result is five new natural chews.
