Non-Food From Zero to a Relevant Player in Home Care

JMD’s entry into the Home Care category marked a key milestone in the diversification of the company’s portfolio.

Starting from no presence in one of the largest categories in modern retail, JMD built, in just a few years, a strong, sustainable and continuously growing position, becoming today the leading non-food distributor in modern retail in Portugal.

From Zero to a Relevant Player in Home Care

Overview

Until 2023, JMD had no presence in Home Care, one of the largest and most competitive FMCG categories.

The challenge was clear and ambitious: to build, within 5 years, a leading position in the non-food market in Portugal.

To achieve this, it was necessary to enter a highly consolidated category, rapidly gain scale and establish a differentiated value proposition for both customers and consumers.

Our approach was based on a rigorous selection of opportunities, the development of a relevant portfolio and best-in-class in-store execution.

Today, JMD positions itself as a credible player in Home Care, with presence across key customers, a solid distribution base and brands growing above market.

Our role

  • Structured identification of market opportunities
  • Development of a balanced portfolio with differentiated and consumer-relevant brands
  • Rapid market entry with a strong focus on distribution and presence across key customers
  • Best-in-class in-store execution, ensuring visibility and rotation
  • Ongoing business management focused on sustainable growth and share gain
