Zurich-based DKSH has expanded its partnership with Lindt & Sprüngli to Singapore to support Lindt's continued growth in this strategically important market in Asia.
Under the agreement, DKSH will provide marketing, sales, merchandising, distribution, logistics, and back office services.
Lindt & Sprüngli is a manufacturer of premium quality chocolate, offering a wide range of products in more than 100 countries worldwide. The company has six production sites in Europe, two in the US and distribution and sales companies on four continents.
DKSH president and CEO Joerg Wolle said while mature markets such as the US or Europe are still facing challenges, companies continue to turn to Asia for growth opportunities.
"Coupled with the rising Asian middle classes, end consumers are becoming wealthier, have more disposable income and are becoming more discerning in their choice of food," Wolle added.
This new partnership will further strengthen DKSH's market position in Singapore while contributing incrementally to the company's overall earnings and profitability over time.
DKSH is a market expansion services group with focus on Asia. The group operates in 35 countries - 660 locations in Asia.
