Brandexports, Inc. would soon be exporting food products to Norway following a tieup with Norwegian partners, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

Thomas Medina, president of Brandexports together with its chairman Alfredo Mercado had recently visited various Asian supermarkets in Oslo accompanied by trade presentative Mary Hedfors.

The company would be exporting bangus, Century tuna, Dole pineapple, canned mangoes, sugpo, and other quality products to Norway and would be distributed to the Asian supermarkets located in Trondheimsveien, Brugata, and other outlets.

These products would also be distributed to shops in Bergen and Stavanger. Non-food products such as materials for manicure and pedicure, entertainment publications, and beauty products would also be supplied.

The DFA said that Medina and Mercado received enthusiastic responses from their Norwegian business partners who immediately placed orders of several containers from the Philippines.

They met with at least five supermarket owners and wholesale distributors, including Norges Gruppen, Norway’s largest enterprise with focus on retailing and wholesaling.

Brandexports represents big-name suppliers and manufacturers such as Dole Pineapple, Pro Food and Century Tuna.

The company had been supplying Philippine products to the United States, the European Union and the Middle East where there is a huge concentration of overseas Filipinos.
