Dot Foods, the nation’s largest food redistributor, is proud to announce a partnership with Kikkoman Sales USA, Inc. (Kikkoman), one of the world’s oldest food companies and America’s best-selling soy sauce brand. Dot Foods can now offer its foodservice distributor customers Kikkoman’s full line of soy sauces, Asian sauces, batters and Pearl® soy milk. First deliveries of Kikkoman products begin on July 16, 2012.
“Kikkoman’s is one of the most sought after brands in the industry and it’s a line that our customers have been asking us to carry for the past several years,” said Park Plank, senior business development manager at Dot Foods. “This is a great opportunity for both companies to continue to grow their business.”
Kikkoman’s natural-brewed soy sauces are made in the USA with Japanese authenticity and offer a healthy alternative to chemically-brewed soy sauces. Their other offerings bring a well-rounded Asian selection to Dot Foods’ customers. Kikkoman’s brand recognition plays a large part in their success amongst consumers and it can be found in almost every restaurant across the country that is serving Asian cuisine.
“Our name is widely associated with soy sauce and this partnership will only broaden our visibility in that market and across our entire offering,” said Mike Evans, senior vice president and national sales manager of Kikkoman. “We will now be able to reach customers from large to small across the entire spectrum.”
