Podravka and Kraš Join Forces to Expand in the American Market

Two of Croatia’s most iconic food brands strike a strategic alliance to expand their presence in the competitive US market

In a bold move to strengthen their footprint across the Atlantic, Croatian food titans Podravka and Kraš have announced a strategic partnership targeting the United States.

As of June, Podravka USA Inc. has assumed the role of official importer and distributor of Kraš’s beloved confectionery, blending savoury and sweet under one expanding roof.

Martina Dalić, Podravka’s CEO, said the collaboration aligns with the company’s international growth strategy, voicing confidence that the alliance will elevate the profile of Croatian products among American consumers.

Kraš CEO Tomislav Bagić echoed the sentiment, pointing to the companies’ shared history of successful collaboration and the strength of Podravka’s U.S. distribution network as key assets.

This partnership, both companies note, goes beyond logistics — it signals a united front in raising the global profile of Croatia’s food industry.
