“If we take dairy products, we have a number of our own brands in this segment, including several for cheese alone. In future, we will group dairy products around a single brand – Paturages – encompassing a number of different products within the segment, including cheese,” Intermarché’s marketing director Gilles Briant told just-food.
“The same strategy of brand per segment will be employed elsewhere too, including our fruit juice brand, Pacquito which will be extended to all fruit-based general grocery products, jams being one example.”
Briant added: “We are also planning to launch a new brand, Itinéraire des Saveurs, probably during 2012, which will offer a selection of ethnic and regional produce – a segment we view as having strong growth potential.”
Intermarché’s own brands (food and non-food) account for half its product range in terms of volume.
