In addition, the Business Matching for suppliers with aim to supply goods to the AEON General Merchandising Store & Supermarket chain will also take place on October 9, 2023. The event is expected to attract twice the number of suppliers attending with the desire to become partners in producing AEON's private brand products compared to last year. These are suppliers who have undergone strict censorship of documents and product information and meet the strict standards of AEON Vietnam.
Suppliers have the opportunity to meet directly with AEON Vietnam's merchandising department to receive useful information to improve the quality of documents and products, thereby aiming to bring new products into the retail system of AEON Vietnam. In addition, AEON Vietnam also wants to find more production and processing partners for AEON TOPVALU private brand products, in order to bring customers quality "featured products" only available at AEON, in which focuses on product groups serving the trend of healthy living.
