Tom & Luke bags gold award in Japan

Tom-Dorman-and-Luke-Cooper-at-Foodex-JapanKiwi snack brand Tom & Luke has bagged a gold award at major Japanese trade show, Foodex Japan.

This is the first foray in Japan for the company with their products to be exclusively distributed by Cookie Time Japan.

“The Japanese market is a major focus for us and we’re delighted to win gold in our first outing. It’s also amazing to have the on-the-ground knowledge of Cookie Time, which has incredible brand recognition in this market,” Luke Cooper, fitness trainer.

Tom & Luke Fruit & Nut Snackaballs was launched in 2016. The food maker began selling the product in New Zealand in 2016 and in Australia in 2017.

“Our mission is to inspire people to live their best life, starting with the food we eat. And we want to take that global, beginning right here in Japan,” Cooper said.

Guy Pope-Mayell, Cookie Time International managing director, said Foodex will pave way for Cookie Time and Tom & Luke’s wholesale plans to the next level.
