“We have spent more than a decade building international sales, but partnering with Coupang has allowed us to reach Korean consumers faster and at a scale that was previously out of reach. Expanding our customer base overseas directly supports our partner family farms, our local workforce and our long-standing cheesemaking tradition here in Plymouth.”

“Wisconsin is world-renowned for its dairy craftsmanship, but expanding into overseas markets often presents complex logistical hurdles for state producers,”

“Technology and logistics partners like Coupang can help bridge that gap by connecting American companies with customers and making the process more efficient. For established manufacturers like Sartori, this type of relationship can help turn international interest into actual sales and long-term market opportunities.”
