Who we are
Red ‘n White is the registered trade name of Applied Technology Ltd, a well-established Tanzanian company incorporated in 1993. We are one of the largest importers of wines into Tanzania and have long standing commercial relationships with major European, Tanzanian and South African producers, appreciated by both suppliers and customers for our professionalism, reliability and consistency despite operating in a challenging industry and environment.
Our offices in Dar Es Salaam and Arusha are fully owned and so is our distribution fleet tailored to deliver the service our customers became accustomed to. Delivery within 24 hours from placing your order is what we promise and deliver. Outside of Dar Es Salaam and Arusha, we have a presence throughout the country in all major urban centres thanks to our appointed distributors.
Red ‘n White is a TIC registered company. Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) is the primary agency of the government to coordinate, encourage, promote and facilitate investment in Tanzania. Through its TIC status and project, Red ‘n White is recognized as a hospitality training institute, offering services to its customers far beyond mere supply of goods, but assisting our customers with a vast area of auxiliary services including waiter trainings, beverage menu analysis and consultancy, thereby focussing on improving the service to our customers and our customer’s clientele, while at the same time nurturing and developing future brand ambassadors.
Red ‘n White employs in excess of 100 people and is composed of a diverse & multicultural team, creating a symbiosis which contributes to understanding the market in which we operate and delivering the service our customers require.
The current management team at Red ‘n White is benefiting from more than 7 decades of relevant “glocal” industry experience and is a perfect mix of academic backgrounds, seasoned experience and ambitious drive.
Brands we proudly represent
Red ‘n White holds exclusive distributorships for amongst other KWV, Spier, Barton & Guestier, Freixenet, Landskroon, Namaqua, Felix Solis, Swartland, San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna.
We are the appointed exclusive country wide distributor for Phillip Morris (Marlboro Cigarettes) and Bardinet – La Martiniquaise (Label 5, Negrita).
Recent additions to our portfolio are no less impressive. Since 2022 Jack Lives Here (after adding the distributorship for Brown Forman), secured the Rick Ross approved rising star in the sparkling wine industry with Luc (f*kn) Belaire and reshaped the market of premium mixers and sodas through our partnership with Chill Beverages (producers of Fitch & Leedes tonics and mixers).
Furthermore, through a cooperation and collaboration with Mohans Oysterbay Drinks Ltd, a pioneer in the industry in Tanzania with an unrivalled track record, we have access to a fantastic network of retail outlets for our brands, as well as benefitting from the distribution network of MODL, thus ensuring our products get the attention and reach they deserve, whilst making sure our customer’s requirements are being catered to. Speaking of which…
Customer base
Our customer base covers all segments of the Tanzanian market including all premium retail outlets, international and Tanzanian hotels, restaurants and bars, as well as a large majority of wholesalers, stockists, liquor and convenient stores. Our products thus reach an audience representative of Tanzanian society as well as international visitors, either business or tourist.
To establish and maintain this reach, it helps having specialized & dedicated sales and marketing teams for each specific market segment as well as direct client relations with more than 2,500 professional customers who select us as their preferred supplier.
Red ‘n White won’t leave you feeling blue…
