Hügli UK
International manufacturer and supplier of dry blended foods,
Hügli UK has announced two new business wins totalling almost
£500,000.
Hügli's existing experience in the health and nutrition
sector contributed to it winning the production account for a new
new range of powdered energy drinks for Kinetica Sports Nutrition,
a division of the Carbery Group.
Having worked closely with Kinetica over the past few months,
Hügli has won the contract to produce two flavours of its Tri
Carb Energy; Green Apple and Berry in 35g stick packs, which are
being sold to consumers via retail outlets and sports centres.
Already successfully launched in the Irish market, Hügli is
expecting to produce at least 150,000 stick packs of each flavour
over the next 12 months.
John Keys, Business Manager for Kinetica Sports commented:
"Hügli offered us the support and expertise to successfully
roll out the Kinetica brand to the UK market. Its recipe expertise,
blending facilities and packaging development support enabled us to
replicate the innovative dairy protein and flavour engineering of
our Irish factory within the UK. This has not only ensured we can
deliver products of the same high quality to the UK market but also
by manufacturing the products in the UK eliminates the cost and
complexity of importation and allows us to respond swiftly to
product demand."
Hügli UK has also been appointed by Essex based Sterling
Supergroup and will be creating a range of standard gravy granules,
pastes, bouillons, soups and sauces for the wholesaler within its
newly extended 100,000 sq ft head office and production
facilities.
Richard Bailey, managing director of Hügli UK commented:
"We are delighted to have secured contracts with these market
leading clients. Introducing Kinetica Sports to the UK market was a
significant milestone for Carbery Group and selecting Hügli as
their UK manufacturing and distribution site, is testament to the
reputation we have established for delivering quality products. We
are equally pleased to have signed up the Sterling Supergroup a
hugely respected wholesaler whose savoury products we are proud to
be producing and developing onsite."
