Eevia Health Oyj received a SEK 763,000 (EUR 69,000) sales order for the elderberry extract Feno-Sambucus? 7 ORGANIC from a distributor in the US. The order is from Select Ingredients, a distributor located in San Diego, California, US.

Select Ingredients is a specialist in organic ingredients and high-quality natural plant extracts, serving branded customers in the Golden State and other large states in the US. The order end customer is a company in the whole foods and drinks segment, which is experiencing very fast growth across North America. This order is the first order in a new supply-chain concept that Eevia Health has developed, which includes sea freight to a forward warehouse in New Jersey, USA.

Hence, the customer will not pick up with FCA terms from Finland but will pick up FOB (Free on Board) from New Jersey, USA. Through this new supply-chain arrangement, Eevia will save freight costs compared to air freight. Eevia will hold buffer stock in the US for short lead times to customers in this territory.

This is a repeat order from the end customers. Eevia expects further repeat orders in the future.
