How we work

The three pillar sourcing model

Every customer relationship is built on the same foundation: match what you buy today, secure alternatives for tomorrow, and intelligently remove cost and process wherever we can.

The three pillars

Pillar 1: Matching

Product matching

We match your current supplier offering like-for-like, so switching to FTI never means compromising on what you already buy.

Pillar 2: Sourcing

Alternative sourcing

We help you manage risk and navigate change with unbiased alternative-sourcing options, drawn from accredited partners around the world.

Pillar 3: Solutions

Intelligent solutions

We offer products that remove process, cost and waste from your supply chain, driving your efficiency and competitiveness.

Global contingency, built in

Ingredients are procured from multiple suppliers and locations so we can tackle whatever supply throws at us, helping you mitigate cost and price volatility while always adhering to our highest quality standards.

  • Best-in-class alternative sourcing capabilities
  • Contingency planning and risk management
  • Optimised supply & demand planning, together
  • Technical capabilities and credentials throughout

Our ESG initiatives

Caring for the environment while giving you practical, efficient solutions. Here's where we put the work in.

Waste & weight reduction

Working with lighter packaging to cut weight and waste together: less material used, lighter loads moved, longer shelf life on the shelf.

Carbon accounting & tracing

Improving the measurement, tracking and reporting of emissions through your supply chain.

Process removal efficiencies

Intelligent product solutions that cut the energy, water and labour embedded in every kilo, giving your team time back for what matters.
