Swedish Zinzino continues to grow internationally with its establishment in Canada

Zinzino AB (publ), one of the leading direct selling companies within functional
food and coffee, continues to grow internationally. Canada becomes the 13th
market Zinzino enters, and the expectations are high.
- We have a high geographical establishment rate, which is in line with our
expansion strategy. We have developed a model that allows us to quickly get
started in the markets that we decide to go into, says Dag Bergheim Pettersen,
CEO of Zinzino AB.
Zinzino, which was listed on the Nasdaq First North in December 2014, has placed
great emphasis on ensuring the business is ready for continued expansion.
Earlier in the year the company acquired Zinzino Faun Pharma AS and BioActive
Foods AS, which means that it now controls the entire chain from research and
development to production and analysis. This has resulted in lower costs and
greater control, which creates positive synergies throughout the entire chain up
to the end consumer.

- On this basis, we are now able to create growth at the pace that we imagined,
through geographical expansion and also by increasing the number of customers in
each market in which we work. In addition, we continue to develop the products
we have and at the same time present really exciting new products, says Dag
Bergheim Pettersen.

Canada is a market that is a natural extension of Zinzino’s establishment in the
USA during 2014. In conjunction with the launch, Zinzino opened an
administrative office in the USA. The office will also be responsible for
Canada, and thanks to the lessons learned from the launch in the USA, the
company believes that the establishment will be relatively simple and they will
quickly be active and starting to sell their products.

- We are very excited to open in Canada during the autumn, we have plans to open
on more markets, says Dag Bergheim Pettersen.
