About Us
Matchmaker in Food — Connecting Europe to the World Since 1883
FFT International connects European food specialties with retail, foodservice, and industry partners across Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East. We build long-term relationships, deliver category solutions, and manage everything from sourcing to shelf.
What began in 1883 as a Dutch family trading company has evolved into a full-service export marketing partner for European food specialties. More than 140 years later, we still operate on the same principle: building lasting relationships between European manufacturers and clients around the world.
We believe in category solutions, not individual products — and we’ve built our own brand platforms that clients can use as controlled brands, preventing channel conflict in local markets.
Product Sourcing
We don’t just source products. We source solutions that perform in your market.
What sets our sourcing apart:
- Deep European supplier network
- Multi-category expertise
- Halal-certified assortment
- Product validation
- Flexible format development
Export & Business Development
We don’t just open doors. We build the relationships that keep them open.
For European producers ready to enter or expand in Asia, Oceania, and the Middle East, FFT is the ideal launchpad. We combine established distributor relationships across Asia with deep knowledge of regional requirements — Halal certification, country-specific documentation, and local market conditions.
We support partners in brand development, artwork setup, and product registration, and we’re active at leading exhibitions like FHA Singapore and THAIFEX–Anuga Bangkok.
Private Label
From concept to shelf, efficiently and in full compliance.
We help Asian retailers, distributors, and brand owners access flexible European manufacturers — from concept to store shelf, in full compliance. Not tied to a single factory, we offer a virtually unlimited range under your own label.
Why private label with FFT:
- Higher margins
- Customer loyalty through exclusivity
- Price control
- Flexibility to move on trends fast
- From budget to premium brand identity
Logistics & Consolidation
One partner. One order. One invoice.
We consolidate shipments from multiple European suppliers into mixed containers — frozen, chilled, and ambient — optimising stock, cash flow, and freight.
Your benefits:
- Mixed container consolidation
- Lower freight factor
- Reduced warehousing costs
- Improved shelf-life management
- Full export documentation
Quality & Compliance
Quality is not a checkpoint. It is built into everything we do.
We work exclusively with European suppliers certified under HACCP, IFS, and BRC — guaranteeing traceability, food safety, and product integrity from factory to destination.
Every market has its own rules. Before any product enters the export market, we run extensive validation: shelf-life testing, weight control, and sensory evaluation. Nearly 90% of our assortment carries JAKIM and MUIS Halal certification, enabling us to serve Asian markets with confidence.
Our Team
The team behind the matchmaking
A small, dedicated team with deep roots in European food and a sharp eye for what works in international markets. We speak your language, literally and commercially.
