From Online to Retail with Mates

How did they manage to get involved with grocery outlets within a year? And why is their manufacturer based in Korea? Co-founders Vicole Lim and Yeann Tan started their company, MATES and their sole product is known as Oatler, a meal replacement shake.

They wanted to change the landscape of the food options that we have in Malaysia to promote a better and healthier diet. They talk about how they managed to get into all Q-ra grocery stores and the challenges surrounding finding a local manufacturer.
