Berlin, 19.07.2022 Veganz Group AG, the only multi-category provider of vegan foods in Europe, and the ‘foodvenience’ provider Valora have closed a cooperation deal in April 2022. Since June 2022, Valora has been offering a range of climate-friendly and healthy Veganz snacks throughout Germany, starting with 300 kiosks and petrol stations and adding more points of sale later on. Valora Group operates 2,700 points of sale in Europe, including 1,438 in Germany, among them the retail stores associated with the brands ‘k kiosk’, ‘cigo’, ‘U-Store’, ‘ServiceStore DB’, and ‘Press & Books’. A colorful selection of Veganz top sellers such as the Choc Bar Coconut, the Sandwich Biscuits Original, the Fruity Peaches, and other products can be found there. Veganz and Valora are also working together in Switzerland. Valora supplies 450 points of sale there, and Veganz Fizzy Cola and Sour Sticks can be found in some of them.

The climate-friendly Veganz products are the ideal snack, especially for on the go or when you are in a hurry. The Veganz sustainability score “Eaternity” covers the categories ‘climate’, ‘animal welfare’, ‘water’, and ‘rainforest’ and has been displayed on the packaging of each and every product since 2019 to help consumers who care about environmental issues to recognise the ecological footprint at a glance.

‘We are delighted to be cooperating with Veganz. Vegan diets are becoming more and more diverse and we want to go with the trend to keep our customers happy – and that makes Veganz the perfect partner,’ explains Lars Bauer, Valora’s Head of Retail Sales for Germany, Luxemburg and Austria about their cooperation with the Berlin-based company.

As the Veganz Nutrition Study 2021 showed, more and more people are adopting a climate-friendly diet, including more than 33 percent of the population of Germany. Thanks to its cooperation with Valora, Veganz is once again making it easier for these people to access sustainable and climate-friendly products.

‘We are pleased to be able to broaden the reach that our products have once again by working with Valora,’ says Jan Bredack, Founder and CEO of Veganz Group AG. ‘Food service, our new and promising sales channel, is becoming more and more interwoven with the daily lives of climate- and environmentally conscious consumers – at the football stadium, at bakery counters, in company restaurants, on aircrafts, and now even at kiosks and petrol stations.’
