Rok Kombucha has teamed up with distributor Monde Nissin Australia to get its products on independent grocery shelves in Australia.
Monde Nissin is responsible for the distribution of food and beverage brands such as Nudie, Wattle Valley, Black Swan and Peckish.
The new partnership, established in August 2018, gives retailers in Monde Nissin’s distribution network an opportunity to supply customers with rok’s organic and authentic range of kombucha.
Rok Kombucha co-founder and managing director Amanda Carroll said securing a quality, national, chilled distributor such as Monde Nissan Australia gave the company the opportunity to access the kombucha segment within the independent grocery market.
“Monde Nissin Australia is widely regarded as the best distributor in the country for independent grocery and have extensive experience bringing premium products to the market, like Nudie Juice, the premium juice offering in Australia,” said Carroll.
“Through Monde Nissin’s network, we hope this is where rok will soon sit in the kombucha category,” she said.
Bolstering this new relationship is rok Kombucha’s recognition as Business of the Year at the 2018 Telstra Margaret River Region Business Awards.
The company also won in the Small and Sensational award category.
“We are proud to be a West Australian regional business,” said Carroll.
Rok Kombucha is produced in the Margaret River region by former AFL footballer and award-winning winemaker, Trent Carroll.
Carroll’s goal is to bring Australia an authentic, premium, probiotic kombucha made from a blend of quality white and green tea and flavoured with raw, cold pressed juices.
Rok drinks are free from extracts, lab-created natural flavours and sweeteners.
