With the beginning of a new month also comes the formation of a strategic alliance. Protein snack provider Stryve Foods has forged a partnership with North American distribution company Dot Foods. The newly formed partnership is set to help streamline Stryve’s operations, allowing for improved service levels, enhanced operational efficiencies, and optimized customer lead times.
“We are thrilled to partner with Dot Foods, an established leader in distribution and logistics for the food industry,” said Chris Boever, Chief Executive Officer of Stryve Foods. “This partnership will help to enhance service to our retail partners, drive efficiencies, and create the foundation for further distribution gains. We look forward to leveraging Dot’s expertise and scale to maximize the reach of our brands and bring our better-for-you snacks to more consumers.”
As the company shared in a press release, the alliance between Stryve and Dot Foods will tactically strengthen Stryve’s ability to continue to expand its distribution footprint, positioning the company for accelerated growth in a rapidly growing category.
“The meat snack category continues to grow, and consumer demand for great tasting, high protein, low-to-no sugar, zero preservatives, in convenient ready to eat protein snacks is on the rise. Retailers are continuously optimizing their assortment, and our air-dried meat snack brands deliver on these growing consumer behaviors,” Boever remarked.
Dot Foods will leverage its extensive network and industry-leading supply chain solutions to support the company’s Stryve, Vacadillos, and Kalahari brands, allowing products to reach retailers more efficiently, thus improving in-store availability for its brands.
“We are thrilled with this distribution win and are confident that our highly differentiated brands will continue to deliver acceleration for the category. We have made great progress on our transformation, and we are positioned and prepared to deliver for our retail partners to best serve their shopper’s needs and desires. The combination of our Dot Foods partnership and this new increased retail distribution represents another milestone for Stryve as we continue to increase the availability of our brands across the country,” Boever added.
In addition to this partnership, Stryve Foods has also secured new retail distribution gains that will further expand its brands to consumers across the country, the release noted. For more info, click here.
