DKSH, the leading Market Expansion Services provider with a focus on Asia, and Han Lion Group, a premium health food company, have entered into a new partnership to provide a full range of Market Expansion Services for a new line from Han Lion's "Eat Drink Tea" brand in Hong Kong.
HONG KONG, Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DKSH's Business Unit Healthcare, a leading partner for healthcare companies in Hong Kong, has signed an agreement with Han Lion Group to provide a full range of Market Expansion Services for Eat Drink Tea starting on January 1, 2013.

"With tremendous success in building the premium Eat Drink Tea brand in the Hong Kong market, we are planning to introduce a new diffusion line to the mass market," says Simon Cheng, Founder of Han Lion Group. "We understand the importance of local knowledge in marketing and distribution when introducing a new product line into a market. Therefore, we require a trusted partner which can support us with exceptional healthcare expertise and know-how in these areas. We know that DKSH Healthcare will help drive our business to a new height of success."
"It is our great pleasure to work with the Han Lion Group to expand its brand portfolio in the Hong Kong market. Han Lion's groundbreaking integration of cutting-edge science and organic agriculture has resulted in an organic tea essence that contains more tea antioxidants than any other tea product. Busy Hong Kong people are becoming more and more health-conscious. We believe that the tea, which comes in a convenient crystal form for easy dissolving and consumption, will be very popular with end-consumers. We see great potential in Eat Drink Tea and are excited to introduce this innovative tea concept to the local market," comments Richard Holloway, Vice President, DKSH Healthcare Hong Kong.
