Product selection
To meet the diverse needs and expectations of our partners, Valencia Trading Office engages in worldwide product sourcing. This global approach allows us to identify and select the most suitable products and suppliers, ensuring both quality and sustainability. By maintaining a broad and flexible sourcing strategy, we are able to support our clients with tailored solutions that align with their market demands and values.
Daily loading and quality inspections
Valencia Trading Office coordinates and supervises hundreds of loadings daily across the globe. To ensure product integrity and compliance, a dedicated team of inspectors – strategically located in key sourcing regions – conducts on-site inspections before goods are dispatched to our customers. These inspections are documented through detailed quality reports, which serve as a critical tool for monitoring each loading and verifying that the products meet the specific requirements and expectations of our professional costumers.
Packaging optimisation
METRO Chef is our flagship brand for HORECA customers. We oriented our brand to a cash and carry looking design and optimize the usage of colors of the boxes. Unique boxes for multiple articles allow us to optimize production and improve the handling of our products.
We use sustainable materials in all of our designs.
