Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, March 1, 2021 – DKSH Business Unit Consumer Goods, the leading partner for consumer goods companies seeking to grow their business in Asia and beyond, has been appointed by Nando's Grocery International Limited. DKSH will drive growth for the signature PERi-PERi sauces and condiments by the well-known international food and restaurant brand in Malaysia and Brunei.

Founded in Johannesburg in 1987, Nando's is a South African restaurant chain. Operating over 1,200 outlets in 24 countries, the company specializes in Portuguese-African food and is famous for its signature PERi-PERi sauce. The name of the sauce derives from the eponymous wild chili pepper originally produced by Portuguese explorers in Southern African territories. With the PERi-PERi recipe itself being a fiercely guarded secret, Nando's range of sauces combine flavor with varying degrees of spiciness and are made from natural ingredients with no added monosodium glutamate (MSG).

As part of the collaboration, DKSH will provide full Market Expansion Services, including marketing and sales, distribution and logistics as well as after-sales services for Nando's. The partnership covers three product ranges of Nando's, including their signature PERi-PERi sauces, their PERi-PERi-seasoned mayonnaise called PERinaise and the ready-made bag of spices, combining the PERi-PERi flavoring with hints of lemon, garlic and herbs, called Bag & Bake. DKSH will distribute these products across all modern and traditional trade channels.

Laurence Morris, Grocery International Region Chief Executive Officer, Nando's Grocery International Limited, said: “With DKSH's expertise and proven track record over the years, we are excited to be spreading the PERi-PERi love back to East Malaysia while we continue to reach our consumers in the Peninsula and Brunei. We are confident that DKSH's capabilities will ensure Nando's continues to grow.”

Patrick Stillhart, Vice President, FMCG, Malaysia and Singapore, DKSH said: “Nando's is a well-loved brand worldwide and known for their signature PERi-PERi flavor. We are proud to partner with this iconic brand and are excited to expand its reach to East Malaysia and Brunei, by leveraging our rich market knowledge and extensive distribution network.”
