What is FTF Sales
FTF Sales connects procurement, engineering, and operations teams with the manufacturers we represent — directly.
We specialize in packaging, equipment, machinery, and solutions for food, beverage, and non-food formulated product companies. Because we represent our manufacturers exclusively, you get direct access to product expertise, faster quotes, and a single trusted advisor throughout your purchase process.
Unlike brokers or distributors who match you with sources, FTF Sales is contracted by our manufacturers to represent their brands in the marketplace. That means you benefit from deeper technical insight, stronger alignment to your needs, and a clear pathway from inquiry to solution.
With FTF Sales, you will have:
Decades of experience
Deep market knowledge
Direct access to manufacturer leadership
Fast responses
Excellent customer service
Hands-on project management to deliver results with quality and speed
Who We Connect You To
We connect you directly to the manufacturers we represent — the people who design, build, and stand behind the equipment and packaging solutions you’re purchasing. Our relationships give you access to fast decision-makers, technical experts, and product development teams, so questions are answered faster and solutions aligned from the start.
How We Work
We work collaboratively with both customers and manufacturers to guide projects from concept through execution. Our role is to coordinate communication, clarify requirements, and ensure solutions align with operational needs, performance expectations, and quality standards — keeping all stakeholders aligned throughout the process.
What We Deliver For You
The result is fewer delays, clearer decisions, and solutions that perform as expected. With an engaged representative managing details and follow-through, you gain confidence in your project timeline, product quality, and long-term performance. This allow you to stay focused on running your business.
Safety & Quality
We exclusively partner with manufacturers who uphold strict food safetfy and quality standards. Every manufacturers that supply to our customers complies with internationally recognized certifications to ensure their products meet the highest levels of safety, consistency, and traceability — protecting your brand and your customers.
Message from the CEO
I founded FTF Sales after spending decades working closely with manufacturers across packaging, processing, and ingredient solutions.
Over time, it became clear that strong manufacturers and capable customers often struggled to connect, not due to lack of quality, but due to lack of alignment and representation.
That’s where FTF Sales comes in. We represent manufacturers we believe in and work directly with customers to ensure the right production, expectations, and relationships are in place for long-term success.
