Why ImperialOel?
- We listen to you: as a customer, as a supplier, and as a human being. We want to understand where you are coming from and where you want to go so we can provide the best possible support.
- We are specialists. We focus on few product categories, which we know inside-out: from back to front and top to bottom. You can be sure our market advice and technical support is as extensive as it is rock-solid.
- We add value, not cost. We help you identify and source the best ingredients for your needs – and not the most expensive. We provide access to products from reputable manufacturers leading in quality, not in marketing.
- We are lean and responsive: fast, flexible, and efficient. But we are also large enough to offer a full complement of services, resources, and safety guarantees.
- We are independent. As a family-owned, family-run business, we can pursue our own vision and are not restricted by stock-market demands and volatility. Our business strategy is based on long-term goals, not on short-term sales targets.
Services
- Product customisation: We advise customers on ingredients and pack design that match their product criteria.
- Transparent sourcing: We collaborate with suppliers and partners to improve our ingredients’ footprint and ensure they are sustainably sourced, non-GM, organic, and adhere to animal welfare standards.
- Logistics: We recognise that priorities, such as time-critical or cost factors, can vary from customer to customer and adapt accordingly.
- Regulations and compliance: We have experts who support customers through the legislative process, for example on health claims, and import/export requirements and restrictions.
- Application support: Omega-3s can be challenging to work with. We can provide detailed guidance on how to avoid oxidation when using our fish oils.
- Latest research: We keep customers up-to-date with the latest research on omega-3 health benefits.
