01.01.2009 | We are pleased to announce that as of January 1, 2009 an Exclusive Distribution Agreement has been signed with HACO LTD., an independent and medium-sized producer of specialty culinary products.
HACO's range of savory ingredients, with focus on sales to industrial customers, offers an excellent entry into the large and lucrative Japanese seasoning and instant noodle market.
This agreement is a first step to roll out a successful partnership in other markets as well, to be covered by DKSH Business Unit Performance Materials and its Business Line "Food & Beverage Industry".
Fritz Aeberhard, Sales Director Industrial Division from HACO LTD.: "Two years ago we started a cooperation with DKSH in Japan in order to explore the potential of the Japanese market for our range of food ingredients. The results were very positive and we are now very proud and pleased to announce that a long term agreement has been signed. We are convinced that together with the professional and experienced team of DKSH in Japan this is the beginning of a mutually successful business in the Japanese market and most likely the start of a roll-out into other Asian markets."
Satoshi Asada, Deputy Executive Sales Manager of DKSH in Japan: "The savoury business is a stable one and not very affected by the current global economic crisis. This makes the savoury business a key long-term business within our Business Line "Food & Beverage Industry". HACO LTD. is one of largest producers of savoury products in the world and is the only supplier of pure NON GMO products."
