JDM export business expands
Fast growing UK firm, JDM Food Group, its celebrating its first export shipment to Australia.
In partnership with an Australian based marketing firm, the company is supplying an initial 55,000 units of its Just Add 75g garlic, ginger and chilli puree squeezy tubes to a major Australian supermarket chain.
Darren Bevan, commercial director for JDM Food Group, comments, “The Australian market represents a fantastic opportunity for JDM to further position itself as one of the world’s leading suppliers of innovative food solutions, so we couldn’t be happier about what we hope will be the start of a successful exporting endeavor down under.
“This opportunity in Australia is a direct result of the work we’ve carried out in the UK, where we have seen a great deal of success in both the whole head and added value categories. After meeting and building a relationship during last year’s PLMA show in Amsterdam, an order was placed, which set sail from Southampton just before Christmas last year and arrived in Melbourne just over a month later.”
In addition to serving over 300 customers in the UK, JDM currently exports a range of consumer ready products to Scandinavia, as well as exporting a number of ingredient products, such as garlic, ginger and chilli purees, to its global food manufacturing partners.
