Our heritage
Exo Terra is a dignified division of the Hagen Group, a family-run enterprise founded in 1955 by Rolf C. Hagen. From modest beginnings, Hagen has evolved into the world’s largest privately owned manufacturer and distributor of pet products, yet our connection to our roots remains strong and sincere. Our motivation stems from a shared passion for and dedication to animals. This philosophy is grounded in a fundamental truth: Pets are not merely central to our business but the very reason our business exists.
For nearly seven decades, Hagen has been synonymous with trust for pet owners globally, consistently crafting products that prioritize the health and well-being of animals. With an unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and reliability, we strive to fulfil our promise to pets and their caretakers.
“By continuously advancing our products and sharing knowledge, we aim to elevate the reptile and amphibian care standard, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between humans and the captivating world of herpetology.”
“Researched in the Wild” complements our philosophy by highlighting Exo Terra’s rigorous research approach. Rather than designing products based on assumptions or generic standards, Exo Terra invests in studying reptiles and amphibians in their natural habitats. We explore these creatures’ conditions, from temperature and humidity to lighting and terrain. This first-hand research forms the basis of our product design, ensuring that every aspect of our terrariums and accessories is grounded in authentic, real-world data. Species-specific needs are identified and catered to, and innovative systems are developed for heating, lighting, and humidity control. This meticulous research in the wild ensures that the artificial environments created are not merely superficial replicas but genuine recreations of natural habitats.
