Specialist Platforms & Project Profiles
Explore the group's five specialist routes and project planning profiles. Cross-sector machinery stays with Global B2B Group; sector-specific requests go to the relevant platform.
- USD 250K+ projects
- Supplier-neutral
- Human-reviewed
- Free for qualified buyers
Use this portfolio to understand specialist coverage and inspect project scope, interfaces and procurement risks. Global B2B Group coordinates buyer-side requirements across sectors; it is not a manufacturer, EPC contractor or lender. Projects start at USD 250,000, the buyer service is free, and our team reviews each brief before any supplier outreach. Sourcing contractors for a plant? EPC sourcing and procurement service.
Looking for a B2B procurement platform? Global B2B Group is the supplier-neutral parent: you send your requirements, our team reviews them and manages supplier outreach and proposal comparison. See how the managed process works.
New to the process? Start with the industrial RFQ guide or send a scope through the RFQ builder. It is free for buyers.
Planning cold chain scope? Read the cold-chain partner selection guide for shortlisting criteria, temperature bands, audit questions and 2026 cost drivers, or size the build with the cold storage construction cost guide.
How supplier discovery works
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.
Project profiles by platform
Anonymized scope profiles showing how each project type is split into tenderable packages, sequenced, risk-controlled and financed. No client names, no invented results — the structure behind the work. Each group sits with the specialist platform that owns that sector.
ColdMatch Group
Cold Storage Project Procurement
A cold storage project is rarely one purchase.
View profileBlast Freezing Facility Procurement
Blast freezing is specified by freezing curve, not by room size.
View profileRefrigerated Distribution Center Procurement
A refrigerated distribution center is a throughput asset, not a storage box.
View profileFruit & Vegetable Packhouse Procurement
A packhouse is judged on yield and shelf life, not on line speed alone.
View profileDairy Processing Plant Procurement
Dairy plants are hygiene systems first and machinery second.
View profileHatchMatch Group
Poultry Facility EPC Procurement
Poultry projects fail on interfaces, not equipment.
View profilePoultry Processing Plant Procurement
A poultry processing plant is sized by birds per hour and constrained by chilling, effluent and utilities long before the cut-up line matters.
View profileGrain Storage & Handling Project Procurement
Grain terminals live or die on intake rate and moisture management.
View profileCommercial Hatchery Project Procurement
A commercial hatchery is a controlled-environment facility where setters, hatchers, climate control, egg and chick handling and biosecurity zoning must work as one system.
View profileFishMatch Group
Aquaculture & RAS Project Procurement
In aquaculture, the biology sets the specification.
View profileFish & Shrimp Processing and Packaging Line Procurement
A fish or shrimp processing plant is a chain of hygienic steps — receiving and chilling, grading, heading, gutting or peeling, freezing, glazing, packaging and cold dispatch — where each step must match the species, the product form and the target market's hygiene regime.
View profileFeedMatch Group
Feed Mill Project Procurement
A feed mill is a continuous process line, so a weak package drags the whole plant's capacity down.
View profileAquafeed Extrusion Plant Procurement
Aquafeed is the most demanding feed to manufacture: fine grinding, precise micro-ingredient dosing, twin-screw extrusion, controlled drying and vacuum coating all interact, and pellet quality for a specific species depends on the whole chain, not one machine.
View profileSeedMatch Group
Greenhouse & Seed Supply Programme Procurement
Greenhouse and seed programmes are bought together more often than they are specified together.
View profileSeed Processing Line Procurement
A seed processing line protects germination value at every step — reception and drying, pre-cleaning, fine cleaning, gravity separation, treatment and coating, and packaging — where gentle handling and accurate separation matter more than raw speed.

Prepare this project before contacting manufacturers
Scope this page helps prepare: Serious industrial projects across the group's sector platforms: special machinery, complete production lines, processing and packaging systems, automation and capacity expansion.
Who it is for: Manufacturers, industrial groups, project developers, investors, governments and public entities evaluating where to start a project conversation.
Confirm before manufacturers are contacted: product and capacity, process and equipment scope, site and utilities, automation and quality requirements, budget range and timeline, and which figures are still assumptions.
Next step: Describe the project objective, capacity target and site situation — we structure it into a reviewable brief before any external routing.

What information do manufacturers need before reviewing a machinery project?
Product and capacity, process steps and equipment scope, site and utility conditions, automation and quality requirements, installation and commissioning expectations, budget range and timeline, plus a clear separation between confirmed facts and assumptions.
What is the difference between a machinery quote and a project brief?
A quote prices a defined scope. A project brief defines the scope: objective, capacity, process, interfaces, site conditions, acceptance criteria and open questions. Without the brief, quotes are not comparable.
Does Global B2B Group connect buyers directly to manufacturers?
No. Buyers are never automatically connected to a manufacturer or supplier. The Global B2B Group project team review qualifying projects before any appropriate external routing.
What is the minimum project size for human review?
Formal project review, supplier routing and financing-pathway discussion generally start from an expected total project value of USD 250,000. Below that, planning guidance and calculators remain available.
Indicative planning support only. Global B2B Group is not a machinery manufacturer, engineering or EPC contractor, bank, lender, credit provider or pricing authority, and does not guarantee a manufacturer, equipment availability, technical performance, factory acceptance, final price, delivery, installation, financing or project outcome. WhatsApp is a technology-assisted, human-reviewed way to start or continue a project conversation.
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.
