Freedom Foods Group is expanding its Asian footprint through two new partnerships, including the launch of a new range of UHT products in Vietnam.

 

Freedom Foods, through its Pactum Dairy Group (PDG) business, has partnered with International Dairy Products (IDP) to launch the new Love’ in Farm (LiF) UHT range.

 

The range includes four SKUs under the LiF range, and Freedom Foods said this is its first major strategic partnership in Vietnam, with commencing volume expected to reach four million litres in year one.

 

Freedom Foods has also announced that it has extended its relationship with Chinese imported food and beverage brand distributor, Pinlive Foods.

 

Freedom Foods and Pinlive forged a collaboration in 2015 for the sourcing and manufacture of Premium Weidendorf UHT milk.

 

The new agreement will expand the range of Pinlive-branded food products to include more of Freedom Foods' dairy and cereal products, with the first of these additional products to launch in China in the second half of the year.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
