Sourcing, certification and logistics for sweets and food, across 48 countries. One experienced partner between you and the right manufacturer.
30 years in the sweets business
Carlo Global is founded by Carlo, who brings thirty years of experience in purchasing, sales and restructuring companies, most of them at other firms in the confectionery trade. Our core is confectionery, from candy to chocolate and biscuits, and we trade more broadly in food. We know the manufacturers, the markets and the regulations, so our clients have one point of contact for product, certification and logistics.
Meet Carlo
I have spent thirty years in the food trade, and most of them in sweets. I started on the buying side, moved into sales, and later helped restructure companies that had lost their way. Along the road I learned which factories keep their promises, which markets ask for what, and where a shipment gets stuck if the paperwork is not right.
In 2026 I started Carlo Global to do the part of the job I like best: putting the right people together. When you call, you get me. I will tell you plainly what is possible, what it will cost and how long it takes, and then I stay on it until the goods are at your door.
I work from Kinrooi in Belgium, on the Dutch border, and trade with partners in 48 countries, from across Europe to the Middle East. If you have a question about sweets, chocolate or biscuits, the chances are I have dealt with it before.
What we do
We match buyers with the right manufacturers in three segments, and stay your one point of contact from sourcing to delivery.
Commodity
Reliable volumes at competitive prices for wholesalers and importers.
Private label
Confectionery and food under your own brand, from sourcing to packaging.
High-end
Premium sweets and specialties for retailers who want to stand out.
Halal & kosher specialists
We know what each market requires in certification and labelling, and make sure every shipment meets it.

What sets us apart
Trading is a people business. These are the four things our partners tell us they value most.
- 01
Speed
A proposal within 48 working hours, and a straight answer when something is not possible. No hundred meetings, no layers of management that need to sign off. You are happy, we are happy.
- 02
Personal contact
You deal with Carlo himself, not a call centre or a portal. One person who knows your file, your market and your history with us.
- 03
Transparency
Clear prices, clear terms and no surprises on certification or logistics. What we agree at the start is what arrives at your door.
- 04
Thirty years of network
Manufacturers, importers and certifiers we have worked with for decades. That is why we can find what others cannot.
