Summary:
A Macedonian company has developed a wine ice-cream using its own food-technological production process for increasing the freezing point of wine from -18℃ to 0℃. The end result of this technology is one cup of 180ml ice-cream that has equivalent effect as drinking a glass of wine. The wine ice-cream is currently made in two flavors. Partners for distribution and commercial agency agreement are sought.
Description:
The combination of wine and ice-cream is very attractive for consumers. However, the production process of such type of ice-cream is highly complex because of the difference in freezing points (wine's freezing point varies from -13℃ to -18℃, while the basic ice-cream mixture freezes at 0℃).
A Macedonian start-up company that specializes in development of innovative technological processes for the food and beverage industry has developed wine ice-cream. The company produces the ice-cream based on its own developed food-technological process for increasing the freezing point of wine from -18℃ to 0℃. The end result is a cup of 180ml ice-cream that has an equivalent effect as drinking a glass of wine. Currently, the company has its own manufacturing plant with production capacity of 300L/Hour.
By using its own research and development laboratory for product optimization the company currently produces two main flavors of the wine ice-cream:
• Merlot, chocolate & sour cherry (with 4.5% and 8% ABV options)
• Riesling, vanilla and raspberries (with 4.5% and 6.8% ABV options)
The company wants to penetrate international markets with its innovative product. Partners for distribution of the ice-cream and commercial agents for ensuring promotion and sales are required. The Macedonian company expects to benefit from increased sales and improved brand recognition on international markets.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
The company is looking to enter into cooperation with international partners that have the capacity and willingness to help penetrate the product on foreign markets. Preferred types of cooperation are distribution and commercial agency agreement. Partners under distribution agreement should be willing to distribute the product to large and small retailers, where partners under commercial agency agreement should assure promotion of the brand in the right way and negotiate sales on behalf of the Macedonian company in return for agreed remuneration.
