Built for food brands

Fresh thinking for ambient food.

We’ve been a food brand. We know how much best-before dates, breakages and peak season matter.

Best-before rotation

Stock rotated by best-before date, so the shortest-dated stock goes out first.

Careful packing

Jars, bottles and fragile items packed to arrive in one piece.

Hampers and gift boxes

Christmas hampers, tasting boxes and bundles built at scale.

Certified EU site

Our Rotterdam warehouse is FSSC 22000 and Skal organic certified, and registered with the NVWA.

Every sales channel

Shopify, Amazon, NOTHS, TikTok Shop and more, all feeding live stock.

Retail and wholesale

Pallets and cases to retailers, packed to their rules, alongside your D2C parcels.

How best-before rotation works

The oldest stock always goes first.

Every batch is booked in with its best-before date. When an order drops, our system sends the picker to the shortest-dated stock, so retailers get the shelf life they need and less of your stock goes out of date.

Questions

Good to know.

Can you store chilled or frozen food?
No. We offer ambient storage only, so we can’t take chilled or frozen products.
Do you rotate stock by best-before date?
Yes. Every batch is booked in with its best-before date and picked oldest first, so the shortest-dated stock goes out first.
What certifications do you hold?
Our Rotterdam warehouse is FSSC 22000 and Skal organic certified, and registered with the NVWA.
Can you build Christmas hampers?
Yes. We build hampers, tasting boxes and bundles at scale. Kit builds usually need around 10 working days from agreeing the brief, so plan Christmas early.
