Christchurch-based primary products exporter Garra is merging with the US-founded trading company KIT international. KIT International was founded in 2011 and sells around 65,000 tonnes of primary produce annually throughout the world. Garra founder Ali Mossalem said combining resources would strengthen both companies as they have complementary markets, products and customers. The joint venture will combine 85 current staff and necessitate new hires in Christchurch and other global offices, Mr Mossalem said. The merged companies will have offices in New Zealand, Brazil, Paraguay, Egypt, Jordan, United Arab Emirates, the United States and Australia.
