The Richmond-based C.F. Sauer Co. has entered into an agreement to distribute its Duke’s mayonnaise in Colombia.

Sauer manufactures and sells mayonnaise, spices, and extracts in the U.S. and overseas.

Its export agreement is with KB International, a family-owned company that sells grocery products in Colombia, Chile, and Peru.

The Richmond company graduated from the Virginia Economic Development Partnership’s Virginia Leaders in Export Trade (VALET) program in July 2014.

Sauer participated in a 2014 trade mission trip to Colombia sponsored by VEDP and participated in several matchmaking appointments. 

The company expects its first shipment of Duke’s mayonnaise into Colombia by the end of 2016 or early 2017.

Sauer said its Colombia agreement will position it for additional growth in Chile and Peru. 

The company says its first shipment to Colombia will take place by the end of  2016 or early 2017.
