South Korean conglomerate GS Group¡¯s retail unit GS Retail Co. will expand overseas outreach with its private-label products.
GS Retail said on Thursday it would double shipment to 200 types of beverages, snacks, ice creams, frozen foods and ready-to-eat or ready-to-cook meals under ¡°You Us¡± label - to more than 10 countries across the world.
Currently, it supplies 100 types to Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Singapore.
GS Retail¡¯s private-label drink Snow Soda sold 60,000 cans in Taiwan through Seven-Eleven stores last year. It supplied 300,000 cans in latest blossom-flavored drink to the same convenient store chain in Taiwan due to high demand.
It ships 100 million won ($93,888) worth instant noodle products to Australia and New Zealand a year through local dealers.
¡°We are helping out the small manufacturers of private brands through exploring markets for overseas revenue,¡± an official at GS Retail.
