In September 2026, All Dried Fruits acquired exclusive rights for Clear Can packaging and machinery in the Benelux region. The company has already transitioned its own product line from glass jars and pouches to this new container format.
Why it matters
By bringing packaging supply closer to its Belgian home base, the company aims to diversify its product offerings and reduce reliance on seasonal demand. The move away from Chinese suppliers also allows the firm to tighten control over its supply chain and logistics.
The company secured exclusive regional rights for 55-millimetre and 85-millimetre packaging sizes, replacing older glass and pouch formats. This transition impacts current product distribution at Delhaize shops.
The players
All Dried Fruits
A Belgium-based company focused on dried fruit processing and retail distribution.
Delhaize
A major supermarket chain that has adopted the new packaging format for products supplied by All Dried Fruits.
The details
All Dried Fruits established a new business unit, Clear Can Benelux, to manage the distribution of the packaging and machinery to third parties. The packaging, which features a resealable polypropylene lid and a metal pull-open seal, provides enhanced moisture resistance and tamper protection. The firm uses its own machines to process dried fruit for retail, aiming to integrate the new format across other supermarket groups.
Timeline
September 2026: All Dried Fruits obtained exclusive Clear Can distribution rights.
November 2026: The company will exhibit at the Horeca Expo in Ghent.
End of 2026: The firm expects a sales peak driven by online demand.
Market Landscape
This move reflects the broader industry trend of prioritizing localized supply chain management to de-risk logistics. It signals a departure from reliance on distant international suppliers in favor of regional control.
Operators should monitor whether the Clear Can format becomes a market standard through the firm's ongoing talks with major supermarket groups. Businesses looking to shorten their own supply lines may find the shift from overseas packaging suppliers to regional partners worth evaluating.
The takeaway
Securing regional distribution rights can provide a buffer against seasonal volatility and supply chain disruptions. Owners should track how new packaging standards impact retail shelf presence and moisture-sensitive product longevity during the end-of-year sales cycle.
