Libstar manufactures, distributes and markets leading branded and private label consumer packaged goods.
Brand Solutions:
Private label brands are owned and sold by a retailer under the retailer’s name. Dealer-own brands often have a unique name and are available exclusively at the retailer that owns them.
Libstar owns several well-known brands that we produce and distribute. These are sold under labels and trademarks that are proprietary to us or produced and distributed by us under licence agreements with brand owners.
We represent several well-known international brands in South Africa – sourcing, importing, marketing and distributing these under a purchase or distribution arrangement between Libstar and the owners of the brand. Many of these are imported, marketed and distributed from European, Asian and American food manufacturers.
Sales Channels:
We supply products across our product categories through the retail and wholesale channel. Our brand solutions, combined with longstanding and successful relationships with South Africa’s largest food retailers, allow us to strategically position our Libstar brands alongside dealer-own, private label and principal brands on retail shelves.
We manufacture and supply perishables, groceries, baked goods, wet condiments and packaging to the food service industry, including quick-service and sit-down restaurants
We manufacture products for trusted brand owners in South Africa and globally.
We export to more than 50 countries.
