No need to worry about production and logistics
Retail is detail. That is why at Schouten, we pay just as much attention to production and logistics as we do recipe composition. With access to numerous production techniques, excellent quality control, and full logistical support, we treat your private label as if it were our own brand. So your product is always on the right shelf at the right time.
Our production and logistics for your retail success:
Continuity in production
At Schouten, we work together with a variety of production partners. All of them have extensive machine parks and production lines. This give us – and you – access to all processing methods and ensures continuity, which is vital in retail.
GFSI certified and 100% vegetarian/vegan
Important for your shoppers: our GFSI-certified production sites always maintain a strict separation between vegetarian and vegan products and other product types. In fact, a number of production sites exclusively produce plant-based products. Schouten is unique in this respect.
Our expert Eveline is happy to help
Looking to strengthen your retail range with plant-based products that fit your market, target audience and tender? Schouten supports you from concept and recipe to packaging and positioning.
Our retail team combines market knowledge with R&D expertise and helps you choose from existing products or tailor-made solutions. Request a no-obligation meeting or ask your question to Eveline Scherff (Account Manager).
Worldwide quality control
At Schouten, we know how important consistent quality is for your business. No matter where you are in the world, our R&D Department is present during all trial productions and our Quality Department oversees the first packaging run. No matter what, we assess a sample of each batch. So you can be sure that customers can enjoy your vegan or veggie product without any worries.
On demand delivery
The right product in the right supermarket at the right time. Schouten fulfils this promise with international logistics flows geared to retail. For carriage paid deliveries, we work together with our logistics partners for transport by truck, container ship, or air freight. Do you want to pick up your orders on site? This can be done in cooperation with you.
Supply Chain Management
Simple ordering processes, fast worldwide deliveries, high delivery reliability and clear information provision. Our Supply Chain Department ensures that everything runs smoothly and that you always know where your order is. We even apply the latest GS1 standards for full traceability from farm to shelf.
We are happy to make an EDI link with you so that ordering, data exchange, delivery and invoicing run smoothly.
Cross the border quickly with AEO
Do you want to outsource customs clearance? We will be happy to arrange this for you: We are AEO certified.
Did you know that an AEO certification is increasingly becoming the standard for customs? Brexit has made this certification even more relevant and important.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Authorised Economic Operator. It is a customs certificate. It is proof to customs that you are a reliable party. Having this certificate gives you advantages in international trade. This way you are less strictly checked at the border. This makes it easier and faster for goods to cross the border.
