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.

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.
