CITRON Partners with MAPYR in Significant Distribution Agreement for Dubai Born Family Brand

Citron, the Dubai based family business that supplies innovative mealtime products to families, has entered into an thrilling agreement with major distribution company MAPYR to drive growth, further innovation and continued success.

MAPYR, a fellow family-owned business of over 10 years, distributes more than 20 premium family focused brands, mainly from key European markets, across the Middle East region. This new contract with Citron marks the first time that MAPYR has taken a homegrown brand on board as part of their inspiring portfolio.

Citron was founded in 2017 by Sara Chemmaa after she identified a clear need in the market for stylish and leakproof lunchboxes. Since launch, the brand has grown to include over 90 products including a sustainable range, a bamboo range and a range specifically planned for teenagers.

Citrons astonishing local success and expertise in the UAE region coupled with MAPYRs category knowledge and impressive distribution footprint across the region, combines to create a powerhouse partnership and a shared dynamism, professionalism and desire to bring the best products to family consumers across the region.

As a local brand with big ambitions, Citron can now look forward to a strong growth trajectory, thanks to MAPYRs impressive reach across the region and in return MAPYR can influence the strong market knowledge and customer loyalty that Citron has developed, in order to deliver even greater efficiencies and further reinforce their quality product offering in the region.

Working together Citron and MAPYR will be in a position to respond quickly to the high demand for localization and by handing over the distribution side of the business to MAPYR, Citrons focus will be firmly on product innovation and new launches to further strengthen their expansion plans and bring the best products to new and already loyal customers.

Sara Chemmaa, CEO and Founder of Citron says; I am truly passionate about creating new products that are solving a real issue for kids and mommies and by partnering with MAPYR we are thrilled to know that we have a distributor who shares our passion and ethos. As a business, Citron will now be able to reach many more households who can benefit from the innovative mealtime solutions that we provide. MAPYR is the ideal partnership for us as we continue to grow with their industry expertise and experience behind us.

Vanessa Kaye, VP Business Development at MAPYR said; We are delighted to partner with Citron going forward and expand the brand that Sara has created. Citron shares the same values and vision of MAPYR, which is to make family life easier, and we will share this ethos across further territories and expand the brand from local to global. This is also the first time that MAPYR has worked with a home grown brand and we look forward to sharing products that match the end users values as we move forward together.
