La Marquise posts 22% growth across all brands

La Marquise, distributor of professional equipment, F&B products and ingredients in the UAE, spoke with Caterer Middle East at Gulfood 2016 about recent company growth.

“We recorded 22% growth in total revenue across all our brands in 2015, compared to the year before,” said La Marquise marketing manager Olga Mirtova.

“In this region, 2016 will be challenging, however in January 2016 we saw our company post good growth over figures from January 2015; we’re very optimistic.”

“Furthermore, we will begin new operations in Oman in Q1 and Qatar in Q2 of this year, establishing new offices, stores and showrooms in these countries.”

La Marquise represents more than 20 brands from Italy, France, Germany, Ireland and USA.

Nordaq Fresh, a water filtration system from Sweden, distributed by La Marquise, is currently experiencing growth in the Middle East, according to Mirtova.

“Demand for Nordaq Fresh in this region is strong; the products are already popular in Europe, but they’re new to the Middle East, we are the innovators here, and we’re seeing very good response from the market.”

Nordaq Fresh filters tap water, removing all the impurities, while keeping all the minerals, producing Michelin star quality water for use in hotels and restaurants.

Midrange and luxury hotels can benefit from this prpduct; we just need to calculate the water consumption levels to ensure there is good return on investment – if they use a lot of water – then the star rating becomes irrelevant – all hotels can profit from Nordaq Fresh.”
