Sugro UK, the member-owned buying and marketing group comprising over 90 independent wholesalers, has recruited Nasco as its latest member.
The company supplies a range of grocery, confectionery, soft drinks, and toiletry products to customers within the wholesale and retail sectors across the UK. It also has own-brands – London Biscuits, Casa De Campo and Great Grey – which include biscuits, beverages, tinned foods, coffee, and cooking oils.
Nasco delivers to customers throughout the M25 region, and it also nationwide via third-party hauliers.
The addition of Nasco to Sugro’s membership has increased its existing combined buying power to £1.8bn and enabled further diversification.
Ashish Vidani, director of Nasco, said: “Nasco has been trading FMCG goods for over two decades. Our customer base spans across the UK and to over 60 countries, and we have great distribution experience with many top British and European brands. Joining Sugro UK is an exciting development for us and we look forward to leveraging their expertise and resources to further grow our business and better serve our customers.”
Sugro’s head of commercial & marketing, Yulia Petitt, added: “We look forward to working with the Nasco team and supporting them with achieving their ambitious plans alongside working mutually with all our members to help them grow and diversify.
“Sugro’s group focus has and always will be individual member-centric, utilising our experienced in-house team to provide the very best support in trading, sales, IT, design, digital and marketing.
