UK. Mars International Travel Retail (MITR) will present a contemporary new display at TFWA Asia Pacific next month (Stand J8).
Following the recent name change to Mars ITR (previously Masterfoods), the company has launched a new website www.mars-itr.com which features the latest product portfolio and allows customers to control the ordering and sales process. A collection of new packs have also been launched this year to build on the company’s growth in the Asia Pacific region.
MITR Consultant Stuart Bull said “This year, following intensive research among travelling consumers, we have evolved two new areas of invention. Firstly we’re introducing “˜Maxi Packs’, the next generation of our best-selling Pouch Packs to give maximum value for money. Secondly we’re launching the first in a series of confectionery with “˜games’, offering big play value for families. Both are about sharing and gifting while offering an extra bonus.”
MITR is introducing no less than ten new 2008/09 products at the TFWA Asia Pacific show, all of which will be available globally. They consist of:
