Partner With Us
For brands ready to scale across the trans-Tasman.
Looking for an FMCG distribution partner in Australia or New Zealand? Whether you're an FMCG founder, a manufacturer with capacity and capability, or a retailer wanting one trans-Tasman supplier across categories — Alliance Trading is built around the work that actually moves brands onto shelf and keeps them there.
Who We Work With
Three kinds of partnership.
Different starting points, same retail-first thinking. Here's how the brands we partner with usually walk through the door.
Manufacturers
Capacity, capability and category fit — we co-create owned-brand portfolios that work commercially for both sides.
- Owned-brand co-creation
- Range development
- Volume forecasting
Retailers
One trans-Tasman partner across multiple categories — simpler ranging conversations, more reliable on-shelf outcomes.
- Multi-category supply
- Promo planning
- Category storytelling
What You Get
Three things we promise.
Retail-first thinking
Every recommendation is grounded in shelf reality. No paper strategies — only plays we'd back ourselves.
Speed without shortcuts
Decisive partners, short reporting lines, and the operational muscle to move on insight quickly.
Trans-Tasman coverage
One team, one process, both markets — fewer handoffs and clearer accountability across AU + NZ.
Our Process
From first call to first sale, typically four steps.
We move quickly, but never skip the work that makes a partnership stick.
Intro call
30 minutes to understand the brand, the goal and where you're at on the journey.
Fit assessment
We diagnose category fit, retailer fit and commercial fit — and tell you straight if we're not the right partner.
Plan & propose
If we're a fit, we put together a plan covering ranging, pricing, launch and execution.
Build & launch
Sign, ship, list, launch — then we get on with growing it together.

Quick answers.
Do you only work with brands ready to scale?
Mostly, yes. We're most useful when there's already product-market fit and the next problem is ranging, distribution and execution. If you're earlier than that, we can still talk — we just want to be clear about what we're best placed to help with.
What categories do you cover?
Today: noodles, snacks, confectionery, hydration and wellness. We also actively explore adjacent categories where we see retail white space and shopper momentum.
Australia, New Zealand, or both?
Both. The model is built around one team running across the trans-Tasman, with deep retailer relationships in each market.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Either we take a brand to market on a distribution partnership, or we co-create an owned-brand range with a manufacturing partner. Both involve a clear scope, accountabilities, commercial structure and shared category goals.
How long until first listing?
Anywhere from three to nine months depending on category, retailer review cycles and supply readiness. We're upfront about timing and don't promise calendars we can't keep.
Can you help with pack and brand design too?
Yes. Pack and brand design is part of our brand-creation capability — and we frequently apply the same thinking to distribution partners who need a refresh before going wider.
