Work with U-Food
Sourcing from Ukraine — made simple. Choose how you want to collaborate and we’ll match you with the right manufacturers.
Three ways to work with us
-
Discover suppliers on the Ukrainian Food Platform
Browse producers and SKUs, see specs and certifications, and contact manufacturers directly — no intermediaries. The platform lists verified Ukrainian makers; many product pages include rich details (incl. 3D product images) to speed up selection.
Best when: you want to shortlist quickly and outreach directly.
Action: Open Platform → search by category/HS code, add to shortlist, request contact. -
Private Label by U-Food (contract manufacturing)
End-to-end PL support on Ukrainian capacities: high quality, competitive pricing, customization, flexible production, compliance with international standards, and trial batches. We guide you from brief → matching factories → samples → commercials → production.
Best when: you launch new SKUs or move a line to Ukraine.
Action: Submit RFQ → share products, specs, packaging/labeling needs, volumes, timelines. -
Investment Portfolio (secure supply at the source)
A curated pipeline of member projects (new lines, co-packing, modernization, category expansions). For buyers, this means long-term volume security and cost control via JV/strategic partnerships.
Best when: you plan multi-year PL programs and want dedicated capacity.
Action: Request portfolio → get a teaser list; NDA data room available on request.
