Sweet taste of Uzbekistan reaches North America, as Crafers™ enters the US confectionery market with a unique twist.

(New York City, September 2nd, 2020). As part of its international expansion, Crafers™ – a leading confectionery manufacturer in Central Asia, has entered US candy and snack markets, focused on providing a broad array of its delicious products through multiple market segments. At the core of its mission  is a unique business model, which supports K-12 education and strengthens inter-generational family development.

Having adjusted its market entry strategy to address the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and after completing deep analysis of the target market, Crafers’ management moved forward to complete FDA registration formalities, and selected A-Com Logistics  of NY as its logistics provider and appointed Eats and Treats International, as its exclusive North American Importer. The Company with the help of its advisers also developed a unique relationship with the World Affairs Councils of America to support its Academic WorldQuest Program 

The company intends to pursue distribution across all 50 States. It will initially focus on alternative retail and ethnic markets, and in the first quarter of 2021 will unveil its proprietary online/offline education program designed to deepen and strengthen relationships between grandparents and their grand-kids, as well as to improve educational skills outside of the formal learning environment.

To assist Crafers in its US market roll-out and subsequent growth, the company has sought assistance from experienced US and Uzbek- based professionals. Broad Street Capital Group has been selected to develop and implement Crafers’ market entry strategy and to assist the company in building out its US organization and distribution infrastructure. Lipman Law PLLC of New York and Kosta Legal of Tashkent, Uzbekistan have been chosen to provide strategic legal advice and legal services to support the Company’s market entry efforts.

Crafers’ full line of chocolates, wafers, marmalades, candies, marshmallows and chips is expected to enter US distribution channels in the second half of September, 2020
