Big Train’s full line of beverage mix products will be made available to cafes and other foodservice establishments throughout China including regional areas such as Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, and Jiangmen.
Big Train is in the process of training HKCG staff as they prepare to launch the Big Train beverage mix line in China. This process began recently at the Food & Hotel China Show held in Shanghai. For more information on the FHC show, go to http://www.fhcchina.com.
“We were seeking a high-quality U.S. supplier of powdered beverages for foodservice sales channels,” according to Kyle Fu, Marketing & Operations Manager at Hiang Kie Coffee Group Limited. “Furthermore, we wanted complete marketing and POS materials and a turn-key branding solution. We found exactly what we were seeking with Big Train. With Big Train’s superior tasting products, high brand awareness, deep international experience, and excellent customer-focused service levels, we are confident that we will succeed in the China market.”
Big Train is excited about the opportunities that will develop with China. Big Train believes that China will drive growth in the near future, and may become the company’s largest market within a few years.
“With the Chinese penchant for quality coffee and milk-based beverages, rising income levels and aspirational middle-class, coupled with its large and increasingly-sophisticated population, Big Train is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth opportunity,” says Robyn Hawkins, CEO of Big Train. “We are very pleased with HKCG and selected them because of their broad coverage, customer centric business model, and their wonderful staff. We look forward to working with them for many years to come.”
