Why BBRC
We sit between businesses that buy and the factories that make, and between foreign producers and the Dutch buyers they want to reach. Here is what that means in practice, and why it works.
Independent by design
We are not owned by a factory and we are not tied to a fixed set of suppliers. When a business comes to us, our only job is to find the best option for that business. That independence is the whole point. It means the price we bring back reflects the market, not a relationship we are obliged to protect.
Direct factory relationships
We work directly with producers in our European network rather than buying through layers of middlemen. Every layer in a supply chain adds a margin, and those margins are part of why businesses overpay. By going straight to the source, we cut that cost out and pass most of it back to you, while keeping a margin that keeps the work worthwhile for us.
We earn on the goods, not on fees
We do not charge consultancy fees or retainers. We add a margin to the goods we source or sell, and we keep the total below what you are currently paying. Our interests and yours point the same way. If we cannot save you money, there is no reason for you to use us, and we would rather tell you that than waste your time.
End to end handling
We do not stop at finding a price. We manage the parts that are slow and unfamiliar for most businesses, from negotiating with the factory through to import, freight, and routing the goods to where you need them. You deal with one point of contact instead of a chain of suppliers and forwarders.
How we are different from a wholesaler or trader
A wholesaler holds stock and sells it on at their price. A trader buys and resells on their own terms. We are neither. We represent you, not a warehouse, which means we are working to your requirement and your budget rather than moving whatever inventory we happen to hold. You get the benefit of direct factory pricing without becoming an importer yourself.
Where we are today
Our current focus is packaging, sourced through our European factory network, and we are growing the range of goods we handle over time. We are a focused operation by choice. We would rather do a narrow thing well and expand deliberately than promise everything and deliver little.
Frequently asked questions
You can, if you have the relationships, the language, the time, and the volume to be taken seriously. Most businesses do not, which is exactly the gap we fill.
Our margin is built into the goods. We only earn when we deliver a price you are happy with, which keeps us working in your interest.
No. We are independent and choose the best option for your requirement, not the one that suits us.
Then we tell you, and there is no obligation. We would rather be straight with you than sell you something that does not help.
