Lebanese chocolate specialist Patchi and Dubai Duty Free have marked 15 years of partnership in travel retail.
Patchi said Dubai Duty Free has played a key role in supporting and promoting the brand in the channel. The brand owner highlighted its high ranking among products listed in the retailer’s chocolate and confectionery category, notably its travel retail exclusive Gourmandine line.
Patchi UAE CEO Oussama Choucair said: “We are very proud of having Dubai Duty Free as a strategic partner for the past 15 years. We are committed to strengthening this relationship by continuously engaging in new projects with DDF, and we have aligned our goals with those of the UAE, especially Dubai’s 2020 vision.”
Dubai Duty Free Executive Vice Chairman and CEO Colm McLoughlin added: “I would like to congratulate Patchi on its 15th anniversary with Dubai Duty Free. Patchi is a great example of a ‘home grown’ brand that has achieved global recognition and we are delighted that Dubai Duty Free has played a part in their success.”
As reported, Patchi presented new lines at this month’s TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition as the brand targets expansion in travel retail.
