"Portugal is a strategic country for Illva Saronno and one of the pillars of our development plans for the European region. Thanks to its business expertise, strong presence and market leadership, Sogrape represents the right partner for Illva Saronno to develop our brands. We're very excited to consolidate this partnership that began a few years ago for the distribution of their brands: Mateus, Offley and Sandeman in Italy", says Alvaro Escribano, Sales Director EMEA at Illva Saronno.

The Illva Saronno brands have been available in the Sogrape Distribuição portfolio since 1 October.
