Partners
Here are some of the companies we work with.
We work with a select group of trusted partners who have stood the test of time. Built on reliability, quality and long-standing relationships, these partnerships underpin what we trade, develop and represent.
Sri Lanka
Malwatte Valley
Ceylon tea and spices
A Rainforest Alliance member, and grower, manufacturer and exporter in one. That combination is unusual, and it is why a lot stays traceable from the field to the sack.
- Ceylon tea across black, green, white and purple — including Uva seasonal flush and Silver Tip
- Processed on the estate rather than blended at destination, so a lot keeps its field and its season
- Ceylon spices, bought at source
- Rainforest Alliance and Control Union certified fields
- A cosmetics arm producing body, face and hair care — the base our own Srivana Heights brand is built on
Vietnam
Thabico Group
Juice, coconut and frozen fruit
Thabico started in 2000 trading food ingredients and now processes fruit in its own plants. We buy raw material from those plants directly. That matters more than it sounds: the juice, the coconut and the frozen fruit are made rather than bought on the open market, so a specification can actually be held.
- Juice, purée and NFC from Tây Ninh — passion fruit, soursop, dragon fruit, acerola, calamansi, mango and pineapple
- Coconut water, milk and cream from a plant in the Mekong Delta, in the middle of the coconut belt
- IQF fruit and vegetables, with group capacity around 60,000 tonnes a year
- Freeze-dried fruit — the newest line, with a plant being built out to 5,000 tonnes
- BRCGS, FDA, GlobalG.A.P., Rainforest Alliance, SEDEX, SGF, Halal, Kosher, JAS and USDA Organic across the group’s plants
India
Agrizy
Mango, papaya and guava
Agrizy sits between India’s growers and its processors. We buy raw material through them — mango, papaya, guava and the wider Indian fruit list. The processing depth behind that supply is the point: it is why a specification holds from one shipment to the next.
- Mango, papaya and guava, with the wider Indian fruit list behind them
- Bought as raw material through their processing network rather than on the spot market
- Quality, regulatory and traceability work done before a lot ships
- FSSAI, FSSC 22000, ISO, BRC, Halal and Kosher certified; registered with APEDA and the Spices Board of India
- Trades as Agrizy; the company behind it is Bizcovery Private Limited, in Bengaluru
Israel
Aran Group
Official commercial agent for Aran Germany
Aran make the packaging liquid food actually ships in: aseptic bag-in-box, from one litre to fifteen hundred. This one runs the other way round from the rest of the list: we sell rather than buy, as the official commercial agent for Aran’s German office.
- Aseptic bag-in-box and IBC systems, 1 to 1,500 litres
- Built for juice, purée and fruit preparation — and for dairy, liquid egg, edible oil, sauces, wine and postmix
- Four production sites, more than 300 staff, sold into 60 countries
- Fitments and formats developed around a customer’s filling line rather than picked off a list
- As official agent for Aran Germany, we quote, specify and stay with the account
Brazil
Cisol
Orange and lemon juice
Cisol do Brasil press citrus at Artur Nogueira, in the part of São Paulo state that grows it best. The plant dates from 2014; the two families behind it have been in citrus for forty years. That combination is the reason the quality holds.
- Orange juice as concentrate and as whole juice, not from concentrate
- Lemon juice from Tahiti and Sicilian varieties
- Cold-pressed citrus essential oils and orange by-products
- Organic certified for the US, Canada, Brazil and the EU, plus Halal
- FDA registered, and cleared for export to the US and China
Italy
Diamalteria
Malt extract
Diamalteria Italiana have been making malt extract from water and barley since 1909. Two ingredients and a century of knowing what to do with them — plus a technical team that will develop a recipe with you instead of quoting against a spec.
- Barley malt extract, in the forms a production line actually takes
- Water and malt, nothing else — the character comes from the barley and the process
- A technical department that works alongside a customer’s own R&D
- Part of the Malteurop group
- Made at Darfo Boario Terme, in Lombardy
