AGRANA Fruit expands its presence in South East Asia

AGRANA Fruit is using strategic collaborations with local partners to expand its business in Asia and India.

AGRANA Fruit opens new representative office and product development lab in Bangkok

The new office which opened in July 2016 is part of a strategic collaboration with Jebsen & Jessen (JJ), an exclusive agent who will cover Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. JJ will use its well-established network within the food industry to introduce AGRANA Fruit products to this market. 

Following Thai traditions when starting something new, a religious ceremony with monks and a traditional Chinese lion dance show were part of the official opening in September 2016.  These centuries old traditions are meant to bring good blessings and spill bad spirits away. The office as well as the new product development lab operated by JJ on behalf of AGRANA Fruit, which provides the finest technical expertise as well as product support and innovative solutions, were blessed in the course of the ceremony. Finally lab tours, workshops and product tastings were offered to visiting customers.

 

Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients is part of the Jebsen & Jessen Group. JJ Ingredients promote and distribute chemical and life science ingredients for multiple industrial and manufacturing applications.
