Happy New Year!

We would like to wish all our customers, suppliers and partners best wishes for 2019!

We have a very exciting 2019 on the horizon, with a number of new products and sales development rolling out throughout the year, to help continually support our customers and our growth.

UK Distribution

First up, an exciting development on the home front. We are very pleased to announce that from December of last year we have a full operational UK distribution hub in place with a full HMRC license from which we can offer 25 Litre, 200 Litre, IBC and ISO container loads. Furthermore, we have a denaturing license and can offer duty paid ethanol to our UK customers. Within the UK, we are also growing our export sales of packed ethanol (96% & 99%) but also BP, GMP and organic grades. If you are interested in any of the products mentioned, please contact our UK sales manager, Bert Albrecht, who is leading our UK sales development.

New Product Development

The first of our NPD of the year is an organic and fair-trade rum, made from Caribbean molasses and produced in the EU. We will soon be marketing this in the EU and the USA. Contact us today if you want to get your hands on this new rum, or want to learn more about it.

Bourbon

If bourbon is what you are looking for, then keep an eye out for our February update. From this month onwards we will be starting to market our straight bourbon in IBC from stick we hold in the EU, for EU customers.

That’s all for now but stay tuned for our regular updates throughout the year where we will keep updated on NPD, sales development progress reports.

As usual, if there is anything you need please do not hesitate to contact us.

From, the Ethimex team.
