We source Food along the entire chain: vetted source, clean handling, on-time delivery — one responsibility from A to Z.
Rice, pulses, oils, canned goods, pasta: we source shelf-stable food from vetted sources — with the certificates and proofs the Swiss market demands.
Food logistics demands care: clean containers, correct declaration, end-to-end documentation. That's exactly what our chain is built for.
What counts as Food?
By food we mean shelf-stable staples and dry goods: rice, cereals, pulses, edible oils, canned goods, pasta, spices. Fresh products with a short shelf life (meat, dairy, fresh vegetables) are not part of our trading range — they stay with the fresh-food specialists.
How we deliver.
Quantities & units
Pallet (mixed or single-item) up to a full 20/40 ft container; dry goods stack well and are economical from a few pallets upwards.
Quality & samples
Samples before ordering, certificates and test reports depending on goods type — documented and traceable.
Incoterms & delivery
Delivery as agreed — from EXW to DDP, including customs clearance and delivery in Switzerland.
Offer & lead time
First response as soon as possible on working days, followed by a binding offer with price and lead time.
Sourcing regions
Depending on the item we source in Europe and the Mediterranean (short routes, EU standards) or in Asia (rice, spices, canned goods). For the Swiss market, certificates, traceability and correct declaration matter — we check them before shipment and name the source in the offer.
Reference values — binding terms per enquiry. Minimum quantities vary by goods and origin.

What minimum quantities apply to Food?
That depends on article and origin — usually from a single pallet, economically optimal from a full container. We give you the minimum quantity with the offer.
How quickly do I receive an offer for Food?
A first assessment as soon as possible on working days — the binding offer follows once quantity, quality and destination are defined.
Can I receive samples before ordering?
Yes — with Food we work with sampling as standard, before the main quantity is ordered.
Who handles customs and import duties for Food?
Depending on the Incoterm, we do or you do. With DDP we take over customs clearance and import duties in full and deliver duty paid — you only provide the goods and the delivery address.
How long does delivery of Food to Switzerland take?
From Europe usually a few days; from overseas several weeks by sea freight depending on the route. We state the binding transit time with the offer — including pre- and on-carriage to your warehouse.
