Markets & Export
From Canada to China via Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Materna’s clients are located in many countries around the world. As the European leader, our company is rapidly expanding internationally and covering an increasing number of geographic areas.
Our expertise is built on in-depth knowledge of local markets, B2B distribution channels, and the specific requirements related to exporting baby food products (0–36 months).
We operate in both mature markets (European Union, North America) and high-growth potential markets (Middle East, Southeast Asia, North Africa…) , supporting local and international companies alike. By working with international groups as well as regional players or distributors looking to launch their own brands, we tailor each project to its commercial, cultural, and regulatory environment.
Supporting brands internationally
Beyond our role as a B2B distributor, Materna is a strategic partner for national brands and private label brands, whether for organic or conventional infant nutrition projects.
We support our clients with:
- launching new infant nutrition ranges internationally,
- adapting recipes and formats to local expectations,
- post-launch commercial follow-up.
Our objective? To secure and maximize the commercial success of your baby products in international markets, while meeting the highest quality and regulatory compliance standards.
Regulatory compliance for Export
Exporting infant formula (powdered or liquid) andbaby food involves strict health and regulatory standards. At Maternacompliance is at the heart of our approach, regardless of the destination country.
Our regulatory commitment:

- Adaptation to the specific local requirements of importing countries (composition, labeling, health claims, languages),
- Full management of documentation:

This expertise enables our clients to reduce time-to-market internationally, limit regulatory risks, and secure their projects over the long term.
A reliable and well-controlled logistics
