§ What we do
One accountable partner, four functions.
Procurement is fragmented enough. We run sourcing, QA, logistics and R&D support under one roof so you don't have to coordinate four vendors to land one container.
Global Sourcing
Direct partnerships with audited producers in 14 sourcing countries — no brokered shipments, no anonymous lots.
Quality Assurance
FSSC 22000, GMP and ISO 9001 program. CoA, MSDS and origin documentation on every batch.
Door-to-Door Logistics
Sea, air and reefer freight under EXW, FOB, CIF or DAP. We handle clearance, you receive at your dock.
R&D Support
Technical advisors help match ingredients to your spec, target cost and process — sample to scale-up.
§ Who we serve
Built for procurement teams of every shape.
Multinational CPG
Reliable replenishment, full documentation packs and managed-stock programs.
Contract Manufacturers
Flexible MOQs, blend-to-order options and traceability for client audits.
Indie & Private Label
Lower MOQs on cosmetic butters, sample-to-scale path and brand-friendly origin stories.
Distributors & Traders
Wholesale pricing on full containers with consolidated documentation and incoterm flexibility.
§ Origins
Fewer hands between soil and batch.
We work directly with cooperatives and audited producers — most relationships are 5+ years old. That's how we hold prices steady, defend specs and surface issues before they hit your line.
