Launch your brand in Europe

In most cases, yes. Products sold in the EU usually need country-specific language, ingredient or compliance information, EAN barcodes and, depending on the category, CE marking. We have hands-on knowledge of these labeling requirements and relabel or apply compliant labels in-house, often directly after the containers are unloaded. This is one of the most common reasons international brands come to us first.

If you sell consumer products, almost certainly yes. Since 13 December 2024 the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) requires that consumer products sold in the EU have a responsible economic operator established in the EU, and that this person's name, postal address and electronic contact details appear on the product or its packaging. We apply GPSR-compliant labels with these details at our hub, directly after unloading. Appointing the responsible person itself is a legal step you arrange with your importer or authorised representative; we coordinate with them so every product carries the correct details before it enters the European market.

The Netherlands offers an import VAT deferment scheme (the article 23 license), which lets importers defer import VAT rather than paying it up front at the border. This is a real cash-flow advantage for brands entering Europe. We do not act as your customs agent ourselves, but we coordinate customs clearance, import VAT and fiscal representation through trusted partners, so you keep one operational point of contact while the formal side is handled correctly.

Yes. We work without minimum volumes or long-term commitments. You can start with a single shipment or test launch and scale up as your European sales grow. With 45,000 m² and 30 years of operational experience, we have the capacity to scale quickly when your volume increases.

We handle the full physical operation: container unloading, labeling, co-packing, warehousing and fulfillment. Customs clearance, import VAT and fiscal representation are arranged through trusted partners we plug in. For you this means one operational home base in Europe, with the customs and tax side coordinated around it.

Yes. Because we are both a co-packer and a 3PL, we can make your products retail-ready (labeling, displays, repacking) and ship them to retailers, fulfill direct-to-consumer e-commerce orders, and prepare shipments to Amazon and marketplace fulfillment centres. The whole chain runs under one roof, which keeps transport movements and handling to a minimum.

Our location is 30 minutes from the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp and central in Western Europe, so goods move from ship to stock without extra intermediaries and reach roughly 90% of European consumers within 2 to 3 days. Combined with the Dutch import VAT deferment scheme, the Netherlands is one of the most efficient entry points into the European market.
