Flavour of Iceland
Early in 2013. TVG-Zimsen and Ekran decided to partner up and develop a collaboration aimed at promoting Icelandic foods and beverages to the cruise ship industry. Ekran, as a duty-free wholesale, and TVG-Zimsen, as a cruise agency, recognised the increasing number of cruise ships docking in Iceland and studied their procurement patterns. Though frequently docking in Iceland, cruise ships’ sourcing of Icelandic products didn’t seem to be a key element in their procurement strategy. At the same time, it was very noticeable that containers were being transported by air- and sea freight, causing considerable shipping costs and unnecessary logistic challenges.
As they noticed that the situation reflected opportunities for Icelandic food suppliers, it was decided to develop a strategic collaboration, which
has been given the name Flavour of Iceland.
Flavour of Iceland’s main focus is on quality, freshness and competitive prices. Therefore, the company has narrowed it's focus downs to 5 key products: seafood, lamb, dairy, water and produce.
