LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Marani Brands, Inc. (OTCBB:MRIB) continues its expansion with the signing of an agreement with the Fairmacs Group to handle warehousing and distribution of its products throughout India and Southeast Asia.

The Fairmacs Group of Companies (www.fairmacs.com) was founded in 1956 with the vision of building an integrated world of services that provides absolute customer satisfaction. Today, Fairmacs’ strength comes from innovative solutions and a range of services that deliver excellent value. “Fairmacs is equipped to handle the distribution of Marani’s products not only in India, but also Southeast Asia. This is a partnership that we are very excited about as it will accelerate our business into the well established and rapidly growing spirits markets of India and Southeast Asia. Fairmacs has an excellent reputation in the global trade and can handle our products from the point they leave our ports to the point they hit the shelves,” said Marani CEO Ara Zartarian.

Of course, it never happened. Not a single bottle shipped or sold. Or is this just another situation like Brazil that "takes time"? Heck it's only been six years.
