Plant Veda (MILK) is expanding the company’s product availability.
The Vancouver-based plant-based beverage and food company has signed an agreement with UNFI Canada, a division of United Natural Foods.
Plant Veda will now have its its creamer and lassi product lines carried through UNFI Canada’s distribution network, with an initial focus on Western Canada customers.
Based in the United States, UNFI, is the largest publicly-traded North American grocery wholesale distributor, carrying more than 250,000 products across a network of 58 distribution centres.
In June, Plant Veda expanded its relationship with UNFI Canada through the UNFI UpNext Canada program, an incubator program specifically designed to help emerging brands and category disruptors successfully expand their business.
“I am extremely pleased with the expansion through the UpNext program. This relationship with UNFI Canada is very important to our growth today and our hopes of future national distribution expansion,” said Plant Veda Chief Revenue Officer Mayur Sajnani.
The company now has access to the people and processes that are critical in positioning products for national distribution.
Plant Veda Foods is up 0.55 per cent, trading at $1.84 at 1:53 pm ET.
