About Us

BestFoodImporters was born in 2009, four years after the launch of our first successful project: BestWineImporters. The databases dedicated to the wine industry quickly became a must for the producers in the sector so we decided to take on a new challenge and try to replicate the formula for the far more complex food industry.

Working with databases back then was a complicated and time-consuming task but we managed to “tame the beast” by focusing on providing a user-friendly experience in an easy-to-use system that allowed access to the right information, instantly.

Making sure that the data is accurate and always up to date was also vital, as many of our clients had issues in the past with the quality of the information offered by similar products.

We managed to do this by creating a team of enthusiastic, well trained data analysts and partnering with some of the most respected data providers.

Our Platform over the Years

2009

The first version of the database was available in 2009, as a custom designed .xls file for which we provided monthly downloadable updates. We had only one global package with 3000 food importers, but we were already working on bigger things.

2011

In 2011 we’ve expanded our offerings with 9 new packages which covered the main sectors in the food industry and one year later we’ve started adding details about the personnel in charge of acquisitions.

2014

The following years were dedicated to massively expanding the databases, which included more than 10,000 companies by 2014. Various improvements, like separating the addresses in individual columns and adding financial details were also implemented.

2016

January 2016 was a pivotal moment which brought the transition from the older .xls version to a new, cloud-based system. Our users could now receive instant updates and access the data from any internet connected device. The new filters also allowed an even more precise selection of potential buyers.

2018

After a complex development and testing phase, a unique search system, created in-house, was implemented. This further improves the chances of our clients to find buyers for very specific products based on searches like “avocado, exotic fruits, Nestle”, e.g.

2022

Today, we offer 20 well-thought packages, including our newest Pet Food, Sports & Nutrition and Baby Food databases. We are also happy to bring extra value with unique features like social media profiles, company geolocation, decision-makers contact information, customized targeting through filters and improved search options, among others.
