Top 10 private label food and beverage manufacturers in Finland (2026)

40 manufacturers in Finland make food and drinks under a buyer's brand and say so on their own websites.

Minimum orders published: Finnish Superberries from 1,000 litres (juice); the other 39 do not publish one. Certificates named on their own sites: FSSC 22000, BRCGS or IFS by 17, ISO 22000 by 3 and organic certification by 1; we opened and checked a valid certificate document from 2.

Ranked by evidence score, how much of each offer we could check in public sources (not a rating of product quality): Hailia Nordic 50, Herkkumaa 50 and Vanajan Keksit 50 out of 100, where 85 is the most possible today.

Top 10 compared

Minimum order, lead time and proof link to the manufacturer’s own page where each is published. Certificates are as the manufacturer names them; “checked” means we opened the certificate document and it is still valid.

Under each evidence score is what it adds up from: proof (the manufacturer says on its own site that it makes for other brands), certificates (documents we opened and found valid), terms (a published minimum order and lead time), register (a company register number) and export (named markets abroad). A manufacturer that publishes no minimum order can still rank first when more of the rest could be checked. How we rank has the points for each and the order for equal scores.

How to choose

Questions buyers ask

Which food and beverage manufacturers in Finland take small orders?

None of the 40 publishes a minimum of up to 1,000 units, or 100 kg or litres. 39 do not publish a minimum at all, so a small test run is worth asking about.

What is the typical minimum order for private label food and drinks in Finland?

1 of the 40 manufacturers publish one: Finnish Superberries from 1,000 litres (juice). Units differ, so compare only like with like. The other 39 do not publish one.

Which food and beverage manufacturers in Finland have FSSC 22000, BRCGS or IFS?

Hailia Nordic, Herkkumaa, Vanajan Keksit, Maustaja, JK-Tuoretalo, Kasvis Galleria, Lieksan Laatuherkut, MP-Maustepalvelu and 9 more name FSSC 22000, BRCGS or IFS on their own sites. We mark a certificate as seen only once we have the document, so ask for it before you order.

What does the evidence score mean?

The evidence score measures how much of a manufacturer's offer we could check in public sources, out of 100 points: proof of service 25, documented certificates 20, published terms 15, register match 15, export record 10 and response to our test request 15. It is not a rating of product quality. Response to our test request give no points to anyone yet, so the highest score possible today is 85.

Where does this information come from?

From each manufacturer's own website, quoted word for word with a link and the date we checked it, and from the national company register. Every profile links to its sources.

What is the difference between private label and white label?

White label means you put your brand on a product the manufacturer already has. Private label usually means a product made to your own specification. Many companies on these lists do both.

Can a company pay to rank higher on NordSourced?

No. Positions come from one published formula (/how-we-rank). Advertising appears only in boxes labeled Advertisement and never changes a rank.
