Europe — a commercial base under construction
A presence in Spain makes it possible to present a European base. On its own it does not amount to approval to import or distribute in any given country of the Union.
What we do there today
ATLAS has a presence in Spain, intended to serve as a commercial development base for Europe. Its exact role — purchasing, selling, sourcing, representation, importing or distribution — is being documented, and we will set it out here once established.
We insist on a distinction many websites gloss over: being established in a country of the Union does not mean being able to bring any food product into it. Each category requires verifying the approved countries and establishments, the certificates required, import controls, labelling rules, traceability and applicable logistics.
We carry out that verification before any commitment, and we would rather say so than promise flows we could not deliver.
Status of the markets
Three statuses, and the difference matters: a market is only «served» if a real operation has been carried out there.
| Country | Status | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| Spain Commercial development base | Under review | Prospecting under way: contacts identified, conditions being verified. No operations to date. |
| France | Targeted | A market we intend to develop. No prospecting under way and no operation carried out. |
| Portugal | Targeted | A market we intend to develop. No prospecting under way and no operation carried out. |
| Italy | Targeted | A market we intend to develop. No prospecting under way and no operation carried out. |
| Belgium | Targeted | A market we intend to develop. No prospecting under way and no operation carried out. |
| Netherlands | Targeted | A market we intend to develop. No prospecting under way and no operation carried out. |
