Romania-based Verdino has brought new products on the German market and is now listed in Edeka with five veggie pizzas. Various cold cuts and grilled products are to follow, according to a press release. Verdino is a Romanian company that made cured meats until 2018 when it decided to focus exclusively on plant-based products.
“In 2019, we took a huge step, like the one on the moon, and tested the abilities of pea proteins. We did not creat a product, but an entire market,” the company says.
From February, the German subsidiary’s operations will begin in several metropolitan areas, including Berlin, Stuttgart, and Hamburg. Verdino Germany, based in Berlin, also sells the Unfished brand fish alternatives, which are already on the market nationwide.
Besides Romania, Verdino conducts business in Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Great Britain.
