UK-based meat and seafood processor and supplier Hilton Food Group announced Tuesday a long-term strategic collaboration with Singaporean importer and distributor Country Foods, marking its first foray into Southeast Asia.

Country Foods, a wholly owned subsidiary of SATS, is one of Singapore's largest food importers, distributors and manufacturers.

The collaboration between Hilton Foods and Country Foods will begin in the first quarter of 2023.

Singaporeans will now have access to products produced from Hilton's global manufacturing sites, including seafood, beef, lamb and pork products.
