We live in the sweet spot where food and innovation meet.

food and innovation visual

Constantly experimenting with new ingredients and flavours is what keeps our food offer relevant with what’s happening in the market. We thrive on being ahead of the curve when it comes to consumer trends, whether that’s by developing healthier ranges or by introducing alternative ingredients and carriers that we know will move the needle.

How it works

The makings of a Food-To-Go range

  • 1.

    Range Selection

    Every partnership starts with a conversation. We sit down with you and get to know your business needs. We then put together a proposal with products that we think are the right fit for you.

  • 2.

    Plan & Development

    Once the range has been decided, and all of the T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted, we work on a full business plan to include product development, branding and packaging.

  • 3.

    Delivery & Launch

    Now for the fun part. We handle all of the production and delivery and have the right systems in place to make your product launches as seamless and successful as possible.

Our people
