The SEVA Group’s Organico Travel Retail becomes MEADFA member

UAE. Organico Travel Retail, owned by Netherlands-based wholesaler, distributor and retailer The SEVA Group, has become a member of the Middle East & Africa Duty Free Association (MEADFA).

“We are delighted to share the news that Organico Travel Retail have joined MEADFA,” said Organico Solutions Managing Director Roger Jackson.

“Organico Travel Retail is proud to be a member of the MEADFA trade association. At a time when only true collaboration and partnership can support the recovery of travel retail, we feel our active participation is critical to developing not only our own activities but also to contributing to the broader sector’s overall well being and future stability.

“We look forward to working with our fellow members and to build on the superb work already underway.”

MEADFA said: “We are pleased to welcome Organico Travel Retail as a new member of the Middle East & Africa Duty Free Association. Joining forces will surely increase our collective strength. Their contribution will reinforce MEADFA engagement activities and contribute in its mission to defend and protect the travel retail industry, especially during these extraordinary times.”

MEADFA membership is another step forward for the ambitious group

Organico Travel Retail is the channel-specific arm of Organico Solutions, the Dubai operation of The SEVA Group. Organico Solutions is also the official travel retail distributor across the Middle East & Africa for the world’s leading luggage player Samsonite, including its US brand American Tourister. Roger Jackson has a wealth of travel retail experience, largely generated at global drinks giant Diageo, where he spent over 13 years.

The SEVA Group, founded by entrepreneur Severino Pušić, has become a rising global force in recent times.

The company harbours serious ambitions to be in the top 20 travel retailers over the next five years, via a combination of new openings, concession gains and acquisitions. Underlining those ambitions, The SEVA Group is one of just three Diamond Partners at the inaugural Moodie Davitt Virtual Travel Retail Expo in October, alongside China Duty Free Group and Qatar Duty Free.
