Eevia & Denk Ingredients Announce Further Territories in Distribution Partnership
30 Jan 2017 --- Finnish organic ingredient supplier Eevia and leading ingredient distributor Denk Ingredients announce they will expand their distribution partnership for the new territories of Hungary, Romania and Slovenia.
The new territories add to the existing region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland which Denk Ingredients have held for the past year.
Dr. Robert Gick, CEO of Denk Ingredients states: “We have been pleased to work together with Eevia for the last year – their Arctic Health Ingredients have been a perfect fit to our natural and innovative product range. We are now happy to announce that in addition to Germany, Austria & Switzerland, we are now also their distribution partner for key Eastern European territories.”
Speaking with FoodIngredientsFirst, Chief Executive Officer for Eevia, Stein Ulve said: “Right now we see that companies wish to switch older ingredients over to organic alternatives with same qualities quite fast, while it takes a bit longer to work in new ingredients which they are less familiar with and where they need to review the science.” He adds, “Our European consumers will have a wider and better choice of organic products also for supplements and superfood.”
Eevia’s organic ingredient portfolio is spearheaded by the newly-released 36% bilberry anthocyanin and is complemented by the trending organic chaga extract and the attention-grabbing wild certified organic pine bark extract to rival existing non-organic offerings.
Eevia’s competitive advantages lies within its range of high quality certified organic products from wild plants and a unique positioning right at the heart of the raw material collection area. Eevia offer specialized health ingredients from a short and fully transparent value chain.
Sustainability is also a key focus for Eevia with all parts of the raw materials being utilized, which now also is giving Eevia a continued improved cost advantage over manufacturer who only make a single product from the raw materials. Eevia has strong emphasis on achieving minimal impact and disruption to Finland’s pristine natural environment.
“The idea about working with Denk was to get an honest and solid distributor of high quality natural ingredients for Germany. We have found Denk to far exceed our expectations. They are a great company to work with and the people there are full of positive energy and confidence. They have really inspired us and expanding this cooperation is great for us,” says Ulve.
Ulve continues further: “We have been truly impressed with the professionalism and natural positive energy the people in Denk Ingredients have displayed over the past year. We are excited to extend their territory further into Eastern Europe from the base as our exclusive distributor for the DACH region.”
If you wish to learn more, one opportunity is to meet representatives from both Eevia and Denk Ingredients at the Denk Ingredients booth at Biofach organic tradeshow in Nuremberg on February 15th – 17th in Hall 9, Booth 130.
