AAK has announced a collaboration with Invita through an exclusive distribution of AAK’s plant-based food solutions for Australia and New Zealand.
Australia and New Zealand are two of the fastest-growing markets in the world when it comes to plant-based foods, supported by an advanced food technology as well as the countries’ eating clean and green lifestyle.
