The Operating System for Industrial Procurement.
Global B2B Group is an independent, supplier-neutral platform that unifies requirements definition, RFQ management, qualified supplier discovery, project financing pathway mapping and execution tracking into one integrated workspace — the operating layer for project owners, procurement teams, EPC contractors and governments running complex industrial projects.
What we are
Global B2B Group is a human-assisted, supplier-neutral managed industrial RFQ and sourcing service — free for buyers, not a manufacturer or self-service directory — for projects from USD 250,000, with sector projects routed to ColdMatch, HatchMatch, FishMatch, SeedMatch and FeedMatch. Requirements definition, technical specification, RFQ generation, supplier identification and qualification, bid comparison, financing pathway mapping and execution tracking sit in one workspace. We work on commercial and industrial projects from approximately USD 250,000 upward.
What we are not
Global B2B Group does not manufacture equipment, does not act as an EPC contractor, and is not a bank or lender. See the full list of limitations below before assuming a role on your project.
How we are compensated
Buyers pay nothing for scoping, RFQ preparation, supplier qualification, bid comparison or financing pathway mapping. Global B2B Group is compensated by the supplier side: a fee payable by the selected supplier, and only after a project proceeds. Suppliers do not pay for inclusion in a shortlist, and no payment is made or owed while an RFQ is being evaluated. This arrangement is disclosed to buyers, is not a per-unit commission inside the buyer's price, and does not determine which suppliers are invited or how bids are scored. The buyer retains sole authority over shortlisting, negotiation and award.
Why we exist
Industrial procurement had been fragmented across supplier directories, marketplaces, RFQ tools, spreadsheets and disconnected financing conversations. We built a supplier-neutral operating layer so project owners, procurement teams, EPC contractors and governments can plan, source, finance and execute complex industrial projects from a single workspace.
Our mission
To be the operating system where every industrial project is planned, sourced, financed and executed — one platform, one workflow, every industrial project.
How the ecosystem works
Every platform inside Global B2B Group shares the same underlying capabilities: RFQ preparation, qualified supplier discovery, technical evaluation support, knowledge libraries and financing introductions. The industry expertise, supplier network and engineering standards are specific to each platform.
How buyers use our platforms
Buyers — governments, EPCs, food companies, agricultural groups and industrial developers — submit a commercial project (from approximately USD 250,000 upward). The relevant specialist platform helps structure the RFQ, identifies independent suppliers qualified for that scope, and can coordinate introductions to financing institutions before award. The buyer contracts with the supplier directly.
How suppliers participate
Manufacturers, EPCs and turnkey providers register with the specialist platform for their sector and are qualified per project against documented capability, capacity, certification and geographic fit. They receive RFQs matched to that profile. Suppliers cannot pay for inclusion, ranking or recommendation.
How financing integrates
Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender or financing institution. It may help eligible project sponsors prepare information and identify or approach independent financing providers. All financing products, due diligence, credit decisions, terms and disbursements are controlled by the relevant licensed institution. No approval or funding is guaranteed. Working capital, equipment finance, export-credit-backed structures and project-finance routes may be explored alongside procurement, subject to eligibility and lender approval.
How project development works
For complex commercial projects the specialist platform can coordinate feasibility, engineering planning, procurement, supplier selection and financing under one program — reducing hand-offs between advisors, contractors and financiers.
Why specialized platforms outperform generic marketplaces
Industrial procurement requires industry-specific engineering standards, certifications, supplier networks and financing structures. Specialized platforms match specialist buyers with specialist suppliers more accurately, faster, and with lower project risk than any horizontal marketplace can.
What Global B2B Group does not do.
- Not an equipment manufacturer or supplier — we do not build, own, sell or resell equipment.
- Not an EPC contractor or engineering contractor — we do not carry construction, engineering or delivery responsibility.
- Not a bank, lender, credit provider, broker of record or financing institution, and not regulated as one.
- Not a financial advisor, investment advisor, insurer or underwriter, and we give no investment, tax, legal or insurance advice.
- We do not approve, provide or guarantee financing.
- We do not guarantee supplier performance, pricing or project outcomes.
- We do not take engineering, legal or certification responsibility; those remain with licensed third parties.
- We work on commercial and industrial projects only.
- Not a marketplace or directory — we are a managed procurement service; our team handles supplier outreach and response comparison on the buyer's behalf, with no direct buyer-to-supplier connection.
Commercial disclosure.
- What buyers pay
- Nothing. There is no subscription, listing fee, per-RFQ charge, lead fee, retainer or success fee payable by the buyer. If a project ever requires paid scope beyond the platform service, it is quoted and agreed in writing in advance.
- Who pays us
- The supplier side. A fee is payable by the supplier selected by the buyer, and it becomes payable only once the project proceeds.
- What suppliers cannot buy
- Inclusion. Suppliers cannot pay to be shortlisted, to be invited into an RFQ, to be ranked higher, or to be presented as a recommendation. Invitations follow documented capability, capacity, certification and geographic fit.
- How neutrality is protected
- Evaluation criteria are set with the buyer before bids arrive, scoring inputs are shared in full, and any prior commercial relationship between a project team member and an invited supplier is disclosed before evaluation begins.
- Who decides
- The buyer. Specification, shortlist, negotiation and award remain entirely with the buyer. Global B2B Group prepares, structures and coordinates.
- Divisions
- The same model applies across the five industrial specialist platforms — ColdMatch, FishMatch, HatchMatch, FeedMatch and SeedMatch. Each specialist platform may operate its own supplier-paid commercial terms; in every case suppliers pay only after a buyer-selected project proceeds, and never for inclusion, ranking or recommendation. SkyMatch Group (helicopter sourcing) is a separate affiliate and is not part of the industrial procurement ecosystem.
Financing role.
Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender or financing institution. It may help eligible project sponsors prepare information and identify or approach independent financing providers. All financing products, due diligence, credit decisions, terms and disbursements are controlled by the relevant licensed institution. No approval or funding is guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions.
What is Global B2B Group?+
Global B2B Group is a human-assisted, supplier-neutral managed industrial RFQ and sourcing service — free for buyers, not a manufacturer or self-service directory — for projects from USD 250,000, with sector projects routed to ColdMatch, HatchMatch, FishMatch, SeedMatch and FeedMatch. It operates five sector-specialist platforms: ColdMatch Group (cold chain), FishMatch Group (aquaculture), HatchMatch Group (poultry), SeedMatch Group (agriculture) and FeedMatch Group (animal feed).
Is Global B2B Group a supplier, an EPC contractor or a lender?+
No to all three. Global B2B Group does not manufacture or resell equipment, does not carry EPC or construction responsibility, and is not a bank, lender or regulated financing institution. It prepares requirements and RFQs, identifies independent suppliers, and coordinates introductions to third-party financing institutions. Contracts are signed between the buyer and the supplier, EPC or lender directly.
How is Global B2B Group compensated?+
Buyers pay nothing for scoping, RFQ preparation, supplier qualification, bid comparison or financing pathway mapping. Global B2B Group is compensated by the supplier side: a fee payable by the selected supplier, and only after a project proceeds. Suppliers do not pay for inclusion in a shortlist, and no payment is made or owed while an RFQ is being evaluated. This arrangement is disclosed to buyers, is not a per-unit commission inside the buyer's price, and does not determine which suppliers are invited or how bids are scored. The buyer retains sole authority over shortlisting, negotiation and award.
How does financing pathway mapping work?+
Global B2B Group is not a bank, lender or financing institution. It may help eligible project sponsors prepare information and identify or approach independent financing providers. All financing products, due diligence, credit decisions, terms and disbursements are controlled by the relevant licensed institution. No approval or funding is guaranteed.
What industries does Global B2B Group serve?+
Industrial food infrastructure across five core verticals: commercial cold chain, commercial aquaculture, commercial poultry, commercial agriculture and animal feed. Buyers include governments, EPC contractors, food and beverage companies, agricultural groups and industrial developers.
How does Global B2B Group work?+
The buyer defines the project and submits one RFQ, free of charge. Our team reviews the brief and then decides whether, and which, third-party suppliers to approach on the buyer's behalf, and compares any proposals on one basis. Buyers are never connected to manufacturers automatically. Single-sector projects may be handled by the relevant specialist platform.
What platforms belong to Global B2B Group?+
ColdMatch Group (commercial cold chain), FishMatch Group (commercial aquaculture), HatchMatch Group (commercial poultry), SeedMatch Group (commercial agriculture) and FeedMatch Group (animal feed and feed mills). Each is a separate specialist site.
How do buyers use the ecosystem?+
Buyers submit a project brief for projects from USD 250,000. Our team reviews it, prepares the RFQ and handles any supplier outreach and proposal comparison. Free calculators and guides remain open to projects of any size.
How do suppliers participate?+
Manufacturers, EPCs and turnkey providers can register their capabilities. Registration does not guarantee they will receive an RFQ; our team decides case by case which suppliers to approach. Global B2B Group remains supplier-neutral — no pay-to-play ranking.
How does project financing integrate?+
Global B2B Group is not a lender. Where relevant, buyers can be pointed to independent financing providers, who make their own decisions. Financing approval is never guaranteed.
Why specialized platforms rather than one generic marketplace?+
Industrial procurement is not generic. Cold chain, aquaculture, poultry and agriculture each demand different engineering standards, certifications, supplier networks and financing structures. Specialized platforms match specialist buyers and specialist suppliers more accurately than any horizontal marketplace.
How do I find suitable suppliers or manufacturers for an industrial project?+
Start from the project, not a supplier list. Global B2B Group takes the project brief (from approximately USD 250,000 upward), converts it into a structured RFQ with a technical specification, then identifies manufacturers, EPCs and turnkey providers whose documented capacity, certifications and delivery geography fit that scope. Shortlists are built per project — not pulled from a paid directory ranking.
How are suppliers qualified before they receive an RFQ?+
Each candidate is checked against the specific scope: manufacturing capability and installed capacity, relevant certifications and standards, reference projects of comparable size, export and after-sales capability in the destination country, and lead-time realism. Only suppliers that clear those checks receive the RFQ, so the returned quotes are comparable line by line.
Is supplier discovery free for buyers?+
Yes. Buyers pay nothing for requirement structuring, RFQ preparation, supplier discovery or quote comparison. Buyers pay nothing for scoping, RFQ preparation, supplier qualification, bid comparison or financing pathway mapping. Global B2B Group is compensated by the supplier side: a fee payable by the selected supplier, and only after a project proceeds. Suppliers do not pay for inclusion in a shortlist, and no payment is made or owed while an RFQ is being evaluated. This arrangement is disclosed to buyers, is not a per-unit commission inside the buyer's price, and does not determine which suppliers are invited or how bids are scored. The buyer retains sole authority over shortlisting, negotiation and award.
How is this different from a supplier directory or B2B marketplace?+
A directory returns whoever registered; a marketplace returns whoever pays for placement. Global B2B Group is a managed RFQ and sourcing group: the request is reviewed and prepared first, suppliers are searched and qualified against that specification, and introductions are made manually. Directories are used for discovery, SEO and AI visibility — never as an automatic matching engine.
Which industries and regions are covered?+
Cold chain and industrial refrigeration, aquaculture, poultry, agriculture and animal feed — through five sector-specialist platforms — sourcing from manufacturers worldwide and delivering to buyers in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas.
About Global B2B Group
B2B project sourcing, RFQ support and supplier matching
Global B2B Group is the parent platform of a group of specialist industrial sourcing platforms. It exists to take a serious project from an idea to a comparable set of supplier quotations — and to send each buyer to the platform built for their sector.
What does Global B2B Group do?
Global B2B Group is a buyer-side B2B project sourcing platform. It helps project owners structure a requirement, issue a professional RFQ, and compare relevant suppliers and service providers for serious industrial and agricultural projects — then routes the buyer to the specialist platform that matches the project type.
Is Global B2B Group an automatic marketplace?
No. We are a managed RFQ and sourcing concierge group, not an automatic marketplace. The flow is manual: the buyer submits a project request, the Global B2B Group project team reviews it and prepares the project brief, the team identifies which platform fits (HatchMatch, FishMatch, ColdMatch, SeedMatch or FeedMatch), and only once the project is clear are relevant suppliers researched and approached. Every introduction is handled manually, based on fit.
What are the supplier directories for?
Directories help buyers research companies. Companies can register, update details and add information for free research — but a directory listing is not an automatic marketplace. Buyer handling, project preparation, and supplier/operator introductions are managed manually by the Global B2B Group project team.
Who is it for?
Project owners, farm and facility owners, procurement and engineering teams, EPC contractors, developers, operators and investors running capital projects. It is not built for retail shopping, hobby purchases, single spare parts or low-budget one-off orders.
Which industries are covered?
Poultry, aquaculture, cold chain and refrigeration, agriculture and greenhouses, animal feed, food processing, industrial machinery and complete production lines, plus cross-sector turnkey industrial projects.
How does the RFQ process work?
Project first, suppliers second: you define the project scope and capacity, the requirement is structured into a comparable RFQ, relevant manufacturers and service providers are researched and approached, quotations are compared on a like-for-like basis, and a person from the team stays with the buyer through clarification and shortlisting.
What is the minimum project size?
The platform is designed for projects from roughly USD 250,000 upwards. Smaller requests are still answered, but priority handling and full supplier research apply above that threshold.
Is the buyer charged?
No. Buyers are not charged to submit an RFQ, receive supplier research or compare quotations. The commercial model is supplier-side: suppliers may pay only after a buyer-selected project proceeds — never for inclusion, ranking or recommendation.
Which platform should I use?
