How to find sauces, condiments & spices importers and distributors in Europe
Sauces, Condiments & Spices importers and distributors in Europe buy sauces, condiments & spices to resell. They are not one kind of company. The buyer groups are ambient distributors & importers, retail category buyers, private-label buyers, food producers (ingredient) and HoReCa & foodservice wholesalers. HoReCa means hotels, restaurants and catering. Typical products are sauces & dressings, condiments, spices & seasonings and cooking bases.
Buyers and suppliers meet at Anuga Fine Food in Cologne. A fair runs for a few days, once a year or less. You can reach the same buyers all year instead. What a buyer checks first is not the same in every country. Certificates, labels and pack sizes change with the market. The 2 country guides below name the buyers and what they want. We publish a country page only when we know that trade well. You approve every company before we approach anyone.

Sauces, Condiments & Spices markets we cover
Each guide names the buyers, what they check before a listing, and how the trade is organised.
Czechia — Sauces, Condiments & Spices buyers
Spices behave unlike the rest of Czech grocery. Almost every household buys them, yet only about a third of the spending happens on promotion. The volume sits in discount, in hypermarkets and, quietly, in the factories that buy blends by the sack.Germany — Sauces, Condiments & Spices buyers
Germany's condiment shelf is two markets at once. One is a fast-growing world-food aisle that wants authentic sauces. The other is the ambient shelf, where own-brand (private label) rules. We reach the buyers behind both, in German.
