Concept to consumer
Asia to new markets worldwide
Better from farm to factory
Practical, scalable expertise
We help food companies turn new ideas into profitable products, faster.
We connect the people who make food with the markets that want it.
IFE works from Melbourne, with projects across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Indian Ocean. Our European roots and long experience in Asia connect both sides. We work in English and French.
We have designed, installed and started up production lines, not just written about them.
We know European and Chinese equipment makers from the factory floor, so you compare real options on price, quality and service.
Years of business development for leading bakery brands give us direct access to distributors, food service and retail buyers.
We apply the same method to plant-based and alternative protein, new ingredients and food innovation.
Four areas of support, from market insight to the factory floor and the teams that run it.
Understand your market, then grow in it with the right accounts and partners.
Make your plant leaner, compliant and ready to scale.
Take products from idea to shelf, with the science and the pilot plant behind them.
Build and lead the teams that run your projects.
Every engagement follows the same four stages, scaled to the size of your project.
We review your product, capacity targets, site and market.
We shortlist and qualify suppliers or partners and compare offers.
We coordinate layout, installation and trials with your team.
We support start-up, first production and the route to market.
