• We have 15 years of experience in the industry• We are know for the quality of our products and a high level

of customer service. • We have a polished business model in the Alicante area which

is currently giving us upto10% profit on revenue, which we intend do roll out across the company.

• Our vision is simple; Capture market using quality productsand unbeatable customer service.

• Having the ability to obtain fast and timely information particularly for a growing platform is critical and is already established.

• In the past we were a bigger business so our processes and procedures are already in place to cope with a much higher level of turnover.

• One thing that unites our staff, is our passion for food.

• There are strong food logistics operators in Spain.• But there seems to be a lack of a true Foodservice player in Spain. • There is no one company that services across the 3 temperatures.• The Spanish food service market is relatively fragmented and there is an

opportunity for a single platform to be created by a major player. We could be that platform.

• The fragmented Spanish market promotes local distributors who each control a geographical area, are fiercely competitive and are forced to work on low margins and thus provide only a basic service! (this makes them fragile). They often rely on key product exclusivities (such as McCain chips or Coca-Cola) to push their other lines.

• Our intention is to commercialize products directly to market across the 3 temperatures. This route is the most direct one, with fewer middlemen, better QC, create more competitive pricing and offer a service that no one else is offering.

• We want to be the first company in Spain to master the one stop shop concept!
