Closed B2B marketplace
Find the other side of the trade.
Caravela introduces manufacturers, brand owners, distributors, importers and raw-material suppliers to one another across borders. Every company is checked by a person before it is let in — which is the whole point.

A walk through the real site, narrated and captioned: joining, finding suppliers, and selling.
Who is inside
Six kinds of company, one room.
Most FMCG companies are more than one of these at once. You choose every role that applies, and you are found as all of them.
Manufacturers
Find distributors, importers and private-label clients in markets you do not yet sell into.
Brand owners
Put your range in front of the companies that already move goods where you want to be.
Distributors & wholesalers
Source new lines, fill gaps in your portfolio, and find the manufacturer behind a product.
Importers & exporters
Work both directions — supply you can trust abroad, demand you can serve at home.
Raw material suppliers
Reach the factories and processors buying at volume, without a chain of middlemen.
Shipping, storage & packaging
Freight, warehousing, packing and customs clearance for the companies trading here.
How it works
Four steps, and one of them is us doing the work.
- 01
Apply
Your company, what you trade, where you trade, and your commercial registration.
- 02
We verify
A person checks the registration, the licences and that the business is what it says it is.
- 03
Join
Annual membership. One company, one account, full access.
- 04
Trade
Search, list, and contact the other side directly. No commission, no intermediary.
Verification
An open directory is worth nothing.
Anyone can list a company on a public site, and everybody in this trade has wasted a week on one. Caravela is closed on purpose: a person reads the commercial registration, the licences and the company behind them before anything is switched on.
Registration
Checked against the official register where one is available.
Licences
Import, export and distribution authority, where the role requires it.
The person
That whoever applied actually works for the company they applied for.
Consistency
Country, address, phone and the markets claimed all telling one story.
Apply, and we will look at your company properly.
It takes a few minutes to apply. We answer every application, and if something is missing we ask for that one thing rather than sending you back to the start.
