ANSTED BV

Ansted is a manufacturer’s distributor of European foodstuffs, established in ‘97 and built on relations and knowledge dating back to the mid-eighties. Meanwhile we have over 20 years experience in distributing products to customers worldwide. Over the years we have proved to be a reliable partner for customers and manufacturers, resulting in long-lasting relations of which many started in the eighties and nineties.
Our everyday goal is to serve our partners in the best possible manner, by providing solutions and efficiency in the supply chain.

During the years we have built a stable manufacturer network, representing premium food brands and medium-sized (family) companies with complementary assortments, mainly in the bakery and confectionary industry.
We develop export business in remote or niche markets around the world. Developing new concepts, special recipes and dedicated packaging is an important part of our activities, making sure the products meet the requirements of the foreign market in all aspects.
Nowadays our customer base includes distributors, retailers and foodservice companies.
Every day we provide a complete export service and create complementary assortments for our clients in consolidated shipments.
Export of foodstuffs can be complex and requires extensive knowledge of the standards and regulations in the countries of destination. That is why we stay up to date with the latest legal requirements, to make sure the products reach the shelves without any hassle. We arrange all necessary export and customs documents in house.
All and all that’s why we can say we offer a one stop export service for our manufacturers and customers.
