Solution

Together with HKFoods we have launched a new HK Nordcraft website tailored to support the company’s expanding export business, especially in Japan and Italy.

There is a growing global interest in high-quality, sustainably produced Nordic foods and HKFoods is proud to meet this demand. With a deep passion for quality Nordic cuisine, HKFoods is exporting to several international markets. 

To further support its export business, especially in Japan and Italy, the company has launched a new HK Nordcraft website tailored to these markets.  

Perfect recipe

We kicked-off the website project by identifying HKFoods’ needs and exploring the unique food markets in Japan and Italy. Through benchmarking and competitor analysis we uncovered valuable insights  that shaped both concept and design. 

The implementation was successful and efficient as we could leverage existing templates from HK.fi. This allowed us to concentrate on tailoring the content to meet the specific needs of each market. The result? Great feedback from teams and users.

Successful project

The project was carried out in a close partnership between Kraftvaerk and HKFoods.

The project model was flexible. Discovery phase set the foundation. The deep-dive into different markets and competitive landscape set the direction. 

This model made it possible to continuously adapt the solution to the changes that arose within the organisation during the project.

It created a high degree of flexibility and made it possible to coordinate the work with different stakeholders.
