Portfolio 2026
Eight European houses in fine food, drinks, tableware and lifestyle. EastBridge Partners holds their mandates for Asia and works through distributors, never around them.
Chosen from your side of the table
For thirteen years, Maxime de Héricourt ran import and distribution in food, beverages and tableware, first in Hong Kong, then in Singapore, across every Southeast Asian market, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
He knows what makes a European brand work here: the shelf price once freight, duties and your margin are added, the formats a hotel kitchen or a supermarket will take, the registration each market asks for.
EastBridge Partners is a brand representative, not an importer. Every lead, order and account goes through you.
How we choose our brands
A founder, a place of making, a craft that fits in one sentence.
No permanent promotions, no discount channels, no uncontrolled resale online.
One item a buyer recognises and recommends on its own.
Selective points of sale in its home country.
It sits naturally next to the references of the store we target.
Samples, dedicated stock and a regulatory file ready before we knock on doors.
