Since its founding in 2015, Parvie Norah Business Link has built a strong and reliable import network that connects Uganda’s food industry to leading global manufacturers of food packaging products.
Our import operations ensure that Ugandan businesses have access to modern, safe, and cost-effective packaging solutions that meet international food-grade standards.
Through partnerships with factories in China, Malaysia, India, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, we import a wide range of packaging materials and consumables used by food producers, caterers, supermarkets, and restaurants.
Our Importation Process: Market Research & Product Selection: We continuously monitor packaging trends and customer needs in Uganda’s food industry. This allows us to identify:
✅ New designs and materials gaining global acceptance
✅ Cost-efficient alternatives without compromising quality
✅ Eco-friendly innovations such as biodegradable and compostable products
✅ Our sourcing team selects only the products that meet functional, aesthetic, and regulatory requirements.
Supplier Evaluation & Sourcing: We work directly with verified and certified manufacturers, not middlemen.
Before onboarding any supplier, we:
✅ Review their international certifications (ISO, FDA, SGS, etc.)
✅ Request product samples for internal testing
✅ Confirm food-safety compliance and packaging material composition
✅ Assess production capacity and reliability for consistent supply
✅ This due diligence ensures every imported product is authentic, food-safe, and durable.
Procurement & Quality Inspection: Once orders are placed, our procurement team coordinates:
✅ Pre-shipment inspections at the manufacturing site
✅ Product testing for size accuracy, sealing performance, and strength
✅ Random sampling by independent quality assurance partners (where necessary)
✅ Products that do not meet our strict quality control benchmarks are rejected or reworked before shipping.
Freight & Logistics Management: We manage all stages of international logistics including:
✅ Freight forwarding (sea & air shipments)
✅ Customs documentation and clearance
✅ Insurance and cargo tracking
✅ Local transport from Mombasa port or Entebbe airport to Kampala warehouse
✅ This integrated logistics chain guarantees timely arrival, proper handling, and reduced costs, allowing clients to benefit from efficient distribution cycles.
Warehousing & Inventory Control: On arrival, products are stored in our temperature-controlled warehouse to maintain integrity and hygiene. We use structured inventory systems that help us:
✅ Maintain consistent stock levels of fast-moving items
✅ Rotate products by batch and expiry
✅ Plan re-orders before stock runs out
✅ This ensures that clients always find their preferred packaging items in stock.
