Gulfood Manufacturing: Coppenrath seeks distributors in the region

COPPENRATH, a Germany-based producer of biscuits and cookies, considers the Middle East a booming prospect yet does not wish to open a local representative office here. With its manufacturing facility in Germany, it is looking at good distributors who can market its products and expand its reach across the region.

For nearly 200 years, Coppenrath has focused on the perfecting the art of baking via a combination of finest ingredients, delicate baking and expert craftsmanship. Currently, it services to customers in over 60 countries worldwide.

“Our products are in supermarkets in the UAE. We are targeting to enlarge our partnerships and increase our products," said Claudia Brenner, export manager, Coppenrath: We will start our export to Saudi Arabia this year via a distribution company called Newboy, which has 28,000 sale points in Saudi Arabia alone.” Ms Brenner said that she recently rendered a speech in Saudi Arabia highlighting health issues pertinent to diabetes, obesity and other ailments.

Besides its classic range, Coppenrath has its products for the spring and Christmas season as well as its natural range of products such as sugar-free, whole grain, gluten free and biscuits made from oat-flakes.
