Connecting UK Brands Globally
TG International is a South Africa-based international FMCG export and distribution company, and we're passionate about what we do.
Our mission is to connect leading UK food and beverage brands with the right markets and the right partners across Africa, the Indian Ocean Islands, the Caribbean, South America and selected parts of Asia. We're the exclusive distributor for major UK brands including Sainsbury's and Iceland, giving us access to a broad and compelling range of ambient, chilled and frozen products.
We currently connect UK brands with buyers, distributors and hospitality groups across:
- Africa
- Indian Ocean Islands
- Caribbean
- South America
- Selected parts of Asia
Our deep regional knowledge and on-the-ground relationships in these territories are what allow us to move beyond simple export and help brands build a genuine, lasting presence in each market.
The Artisans Collection
Alongside our core FMCG range, we bring a curated Artisans Collection to market: high-end, handcrafted UK products for buyers who want something beyond the everyday.
Sourced from quality-driven British producers, the collection is tailored for hospitality, boutique hotels, delicatessens, and gift and specialty retail. These are channels where provenance, story and craftsmanship matter as much as the product itself. It's a natural fit for venues looking to offer their guests and customers something distinctive: authentic British quality with a story worth telling.
As with the rest of our range, we don't just supply the Artisans Collection. We also help our in-market partners position and present it in a way that does justice to the craftsmanship behind it.
Building Brands, Not Just Shipments
TG International is more than an FMCG export company. We're an international brand-building and market development partner for leading UK food and drink brands.
Traditional wholesalers and export houses focus on moving product from the UK into international markets: source it, sell it, ship it. TG International works differently. We see every brand as a long-term opportunity, not a transaction.
We identify the right markets, select the right in-market partners, and then work alongside those partners to establish, develop and grow the brand within the territory. Our role doesn't end when the container leaves the UK. That's where the real work begins.
We become an extension of the UK brand within the territory, working with our selected customers to ensure the product isn't simply available on the shelf, but that consumers understand it, experience it, and ultimately choose it.
The Brands We're Looking For
The UK food and drink sector is world-class, and our markets know it. There's real consumer appetite for British quality, provenance and innovation across our territories, and we're actively looking for brands ready to capitalise on that.
We're particularly interested in established UK brands and manufacturers across ambient, chilled, frozen and non-food categories that are ready to think internationally, and who want a partner that will do the heavy lifting to make it happen.
What we're not looking for is a transactional relationship. We want to work with suppliers who are excited about international growth, committed to supporting brand development, and who see our markets as a genuine long-term opportunity, not just an overflow for surplus stock.
