Sourcing at origin
Identifying and qualifying mills, distilleries and manufacturers, negotiating terms, and holding suppliers to a written specification rather than a verbal understanding.
A Netherlands trading house with French roots.
At Vetriva B.V. we offer complete sourcing, trading and distribution solutions for buyers across Europe, the United Kingdom and global destinations — from a single pallet of branded goods to full container loads of rice, spirits and wine.
Our story
Ten years of trading, one consistent idea.
Vetriva began trading in France in 2015. The early years were built on champagne, wine and spirits — categories where relationships with producers matter more than purchasing power, and where getting the paperwork wrong costs more than the margin.
Those relationships are still in place. What changed is scale and geography. The company is now established in the Netherlands, trading from one of Europe’s principal logistics gateways, and the range has grown to include rice from Tamil Nadu, FMCG and cosmetics, biscuits and snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages.
Our expertise runs across sourcing at origin, consolidation, export documentation, customs and excise, private label manufacturing and freight — so a buyer can replace several suppliers, a forwarder and a customs agent with one counterparty.
The consistent idea across all of it: buy close to the source, control the specification in writing, consolidate intelligently, and take responsibility for the documentation. Buyers do not need another intermediary — they need someone who handles the difficult parts.
“Buy it right, document it properly, and the shipment takes care of itself.”
How Vetriva trades
What we do
Six services, one counterparty.
Each of these can be bought on its own. Most customers end up using several, which is the point of holding them under one roof.
Consolidation
Building mixed loads across categories so a single container delivers a complete range instead of one product line.
Quality assurance
Sampling, pre-shipment inspection, certification and batch traceability, scaled to what the destination market requires.
Private label development
Formulation, packaging, artwork, compliance review, minimum quantities and production scheduling for buyers building their own brand.
Export documentation
Certificates of origin, health and phytosanitary certificates, EUR.1 movement certificates, excise documents and full shipping sets.
Logistics management
Freight booking, bonded and duty-paid movements, customs clearance coordination and delivery to the agreed Incoterm.
Our vision
The first call a European buyer makes.
To be the partner buyers turn to when goods have to come from outside their own market — recognised for pricing that holds, documentation that clears and delivery that lands when it was promised.
Our mission
Make international buying simple.
To provide efficient, compliant and cost-effective supply across imports, exports and complex consignments — verified suppliers, written terms, compliant labelling and one point of contact who stays on the file from first enquiry to reception of the goods.
