KoRo is a German D2C brand whose mission is to make food accessible to all at fair prices with high quality standards, short supply chains, bulk packaging and transparency.
The startup, who is known for its superfoods, snacks, and bulk packaging at its core, is rethinking retail. By
being maximally flexible with their packaging and bypassing stages in the supply chain they lower costs which translates directly to benefit consumers. KoRo
is shipping its products EU-wide.

Their goal is to vertically integrate all products as far as possible into the original source, whilst becoming Europe’s leading supplier of food and goods.
