Myzel Organics Lands in Europe: A New Partnership With Germany's VIVATIS

4 min read

We have big news to share. Myzel Organics has signed a distribution agreement with VIVATIS, a leading German ingredient supplier, to bring our full range of organic, full-spectrum functional mushroom powders to the European pet industry. This partnership marks a major step forward for Myzel Organics, and for European pet brands looking for a closer, more reliable source of premium mushroom ingredients.

What the Partnership Covers

Through VIVATIS's established European network and warehousing, our organic functional mushroom powders will now be stocked and shipped from within Europe. That means pet food, treat, and supplement manufacturers across the continent can order directly from a local partner rather than waiting on transatlantic freight.

For anyone who has managed ingredient sourcing lately, you already know how much this matters. Overseas shipping adds cost, extends timelines, and introduces uncertainty that formulators would rather avoid. Holding stock in Europe removes those pressure points while keeping the Canadian production standards our customers have come to expect.

Why This Matters for European Pet Brands

The agreement was built with European pet manufacturers in mind. Here is what changes for our partners on the ground:

  • Lower-cost, faster shipping. Orders ship from within Europe. Freight costs and lead times both come down.
  • Protected quality in transit. Shorter journeys mean less time in shipping containers and less concern about quality degradation over long distances.
  • Insulation from global disruption. A European-held supply removes exposure to overseas shipping delays and geopolitical events that can interrupt transatlantic trade.
  • Local support. Service, communication, and logistics run through a trusted German partner who understands the regional market and its regulatory expectations.
  • The same Canadian quality. The mushroom powders themselves do not change. They are still the organic-certified, full-spectrum ingredients produced at our facility in the Niagara Region.

From Our Founder

"From the first conversation, it felt like our teams had worked together for years. VIVATIS brought the same care to quality and customer success that we try to bring to every batch of mushrooms we grow. Their reach and history as an established leader in the European market means we can bring Myzel to pet parents across the continent the right way, with a partner we trust standing behind us."

— Markus Sadaka, Founder, Myzel Organics

From Our New Partner

"We are very pleased to partner with Myzel Organics and to bring their high-quality functional mushroom powders to the European pet industry. We believe these innovative ingredients offer great potential for the European market and are excited that they mark the beginning of our expansion into the pet market. We thank Myzel Organics for their trust in VIVATIS and look forward to building a successful partnership together."

— Jonas Blunk, Product & Sales Manager, VIVATIS

Looking Ahead

This partnership reflects something we care about deeply at Myzel. Growing a functional mushroom company means more than producing quality ingredients. It means building the right relationships so those ingredients reach the formulators, brands, and pet parents who value them. VIVATIS shares that view, and we are grateful to be starting this next chapter with a partner whose standards match our own.

For European pet brands, our full-spectrum mushroom powders are now closer to home than ever. We look forward to seeing what our new partners create with them.
