HCM CITY — Digiworld Corporation on Friday signed an agreement with Nestlé Vietnam to become the master distributor of the latter’s healthcare nutrition products in the Vietnamese market.
DGW said it would help expand the market for Nestlé’s products through all the business channels it has developed like clinics, pharmacies and hospitals.
The products, developed by Nestlé Health Science Institute, include milk powder for malnourished children and diabetics.
Đoàn Hồng Việt, CEO of Digiworld, said since 2008 Nestlé has been bringing many healthcare nutrition products to the Vietnamese market.
The tie-up would diversify the market and give consumers more options, he said.

This year, the company targets growth of 20 per cent in revenues and 25 per cent in profits.
