Our competitive advantages

We are proud to offer a wide range of frozen snacks & finger food products: we process all types of raw material (cheese, meat, fish, fruits & vegetables) and are able to offer a large product portfolio including coated snacks, puff pastries, Asian products, toast snacks and rolls – a key success factor for the discounters, the retailers and the Food Service business !

Our true know-how consists in our shaping & coating processes – we have strong relationships with our suppliers to get the perfect machinery and ingredients we need.

We can offer mixed boxes, including different products packed separately in plastic bags – such as the American Box or the Mexican Box.

We are happy to deliver mixed cartons to our discounter customers: different products in one carton – in order to avoid handling and offer an attractive selling price in the shop to the final consumer.

We are a private label specialist – 90% of our turnover is made with private label. The main reason for this is our flexibility and reactivity. We like to do bespoke product development for our customers in order to meet their expectations. Our operational effectiveness enabled us to produce more than 10.000 T of products in 2016 – and it grows from year to year!

We are committed and concerned by the quality of our products – we are IFS Higher level and BRC Grade B certified (MSC, ASC, Halal, McDonald’s, Burger King, Yum! as well). We offer superior product quality enabling the company to win attractive contracts not on price but on quality.

We are also more and more involved in Corporate Social Responsibility.

Finally, our NPD team in collaboration with our marketing team permanently tries to identify the upcoming trends and convert them into product ideation. Innovation is a key to boost sales.

- No doubt, our huge strength of innovation enables our company to be the driven force of the finger food category! -
