Most of the experts you will meet, in sales and in our application laboratories, are also food technologists. This makes our solutions more creative and precise and our professionals know how to speed up processes and reduce overall costs.

 

Our 3 pillars support your business

The three pillars of business of Barentz

We are proud distributors

We hold the excellent products of our principals in high esteem, we diligently connect their brands with the right customers and bring their products to destinations all over the world.

We offer tailored solutions

In our customized formulation centers, we are able to do everything from simple repacking to manufacturing based on customer-specific formulations, using the world-class products from our principals and from our own companies.


We efficiently procure on demand

We are a solutions partner. If our customers need a specific ingredient our principals do not offer, we task our sourcing experts. That’s one of the smallest elements of our business, however, we also provide highly efficient service in this, because perfecting every details counts to us.
