Dr Oetker plans to market as an “expert solutions provider” for the increasingly-popular western food ingredients category in India’s QSR and horeca sectors.

As part of this “repositioning”, Oliver Mirza, the CEO and MD for Dr Oetker’s business in India, said the group’s range of 150 foodservice products in the country have been rebranded as Dr Oetker FunFoods Professional.

A spokesperson for the group’s India operations told just-food: “Our aim over the years has been to build a strong retail division here and we are now establishing Dr Oetker FunFoods Professional as a strong foodservice vertical.”

The spokesperson said after nine years of building the Dr Oetker brand in India the company sees “immense potential to strengthen our foodservice division in the country”. “This is in line with our global aim of building both retail and foodservice verticals”.
