Multinational Food Company Selects Gannon as Exclusive Beverage Producer
Uni-President Enterprises Corporation
Client Need:
While it is based in Taiwan, Uni-President is a major player in many different markets around the world. The firm produces a host of products, from animal feeds and edible oils to instant noodles and beverages. It also has formed alliances with other successful global businesses, including Starbucks, 7-11 and Mitsubishi Corporation. But when this large multinational decided it wanted a partner to improve its food offerings in Vietnam, it turned to Gannon. Gannon now produces green tea, juice, and soya beverages for Uni-President’s Vietnam subsidiary. With raw materials from the U.S. and New Zealand, and manufacturing technologies from Sweden, it is truly a global story.
Gannon Solution:
“We were looking to partner with a company that embodies the principles of entrepreneurialism, customer service, healthy, high- quality products, and fair prices,” says Michael Yang of Uni-President. “Gannon understands international markets and has a demonstrable and long-term presence in Asia,” Yang says, adding: “They have consistently met and surpassed our expectations and are a partner we can trust.”
“It is gratifying, but not surprising, that one of the largest food companies in the world would solicit Gannon,” says Walter Blocker, CEO of Gannon Vietnam Limited. “Gannon brings world-class manufacturing, marketing, and management services, as well as its expertise in foreign nationalities, to the table,” he says. “We were honored and excited to marry our unique areas of expertise with theirs. It's the kind of multifaceted project that plays to our strengths.”
