Fighting food waste.
Connecting Europe's food supply chain.
Since 2008, we've been building the infrastructure for surplus food to move efficiently — from manufacturer to buyer, across borders, with trust built in at every step.
Born out of a crisis.
Built to last.
In 2008, as the European financial crisis hit hard, a different kind of crisis was quietly unfolding in the food industry. Manufacturers were sitting on surplus stock they couldn't move. Buyers couldn't find affordable supply. The system wasn't working.
Our founder Jewgeni Kazatchkov, based in Berlin, saw a gap that needed bridging — not just a marketplace, but a smarter way to connect both sides of the food industry with transparency and reliability at its core.
What started as a simple concept has grown into a pan-European B2B platform that fundamentally changed how surplus food is traded — reducing waste, creating value, and building lasting relationships across the continent.
During the EU economic crisis — connecting surplus food sellers with buyers who needed affordable supply.
We physically stored goods before redistributing them. Effective, but slow and expensive for everyone involved.
Goods move straight from seller to buyer. Faster delivery, lower cost — and critically: longer shelf life.
Automated pricing, transport cost calculator, two-sided protection — operating from Germany, Hungary and Ukraine.
Surplus food is not waste. It's opportunity.
Every year, 30 million tonnes of food are wasted across the European Union. Most of it isn't spoiled — it's surplus. Overproduction, packaging changes, short best-before dates, seasonal fluctuations. The food is perfectly good. It just needs to find a buyer.
That's exactly what Food-Stock does. We believe that efficient markets reduce waste. Every transaction on our platform is a small win against food waste — and collectively, those wins add up.
