SEBIR / Kosher trade and distribution: East meets West
Kosher trade and distribution: East meets West
SEBIR: broker, importer and kosher-certification partner. We connect producers from Central and Eastern Europe with distributors in Western Europe and Israel.
For companies / B2B
We connect producers from Central and Eastern Europe with buyers in Western Europe and Israel - as broker, importer and kosher certification partner.
SEBIR operates as a trading company, working with trusted partner companies. We know commercial law, customs procedures and international trade. What helps most, though, are personal relationships in the kosher world, built over years of working with rabbis, mashgichim and trade partners in Poland and abroad. A separate team handles the invoices, settlements and paperwork for each transaction.

What we do
How we can work together
Broker / Agent
We match transaction partners
We build a buyer network in Western Europe - distributors, importers and wholesalers supplying Jewish communities and kosher shops. On the other side, we know production facilities in Poland and Central-Eastern Europe looking for markets. We match both sides and coordinate the entire process.
Import / Export
We buy and sell on our own account
When a transaction requires direct involvement, we act as importer or exporter - taking goods on our own account. We handle customs documentation, delivery terms and certificate verification. For first-time transactions between parties, this gives both sides security and confidence.
Kosher certification
We know who to involve and when
Kosher certification needs a specific person involved from day one: a rabbi or a mashgiach. We have direct contact with rabbis and mashgichim in Poland and Europe. We know what level of supervision a specific buyer requires and arrange the right contact - the producer gets the certificate, the buyer gets certainty.

Certification
We adapt to the buyer's requirements
Each community, organization or buyer may have different requirements regarding the level of kashrut. We do not impose ready-made solutions - the client states what they need, and we select the appropriate rabbi or certifying body. We have contacts with rabbis and certifying bodies in Poland, Ukraine, Belarus and - through our network - in Western Europe.
Our advantage in kosher trade
Commission only on closed deals
We do not charge for calls, retainers or indicative offers. We earn only when you actually buy or sell.
Questions first
Before we suggest anything, we want to understand what you actually need. Which certificates must your customers accept? What volume? Recurring or one-off? The right questions at the start save weeks of misunderstanding.
We know both sides
We know the production realities in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine and Belarus - what is possible, what cannot be promised. At the same time, we build relationships with distributors and importers in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, France and Israel. Few people know both sides well.
Personal relationships
In the kosher world, trust takes years to build and rests on keeping your word. We have personal relationships with rabbis, mashgichim, traders and brokers across several countries. When we call them, they know who is calling.
Prices, customs and paperwork
The kosher market is a market - with its own price logic, margins, seasonality and formal requirements. We know commercial law, customs procedures and import documents, so the deal is also legally sound and safe for both parties.
Both sides of the market in one place
We accept inquiries from producers seeking buyers, and from importers seeking product. We understand the needs of both sides - which is why we can structure deals that work for everyone.
Full financial and administrative support
Our team handles the financial side of every transaction - invoices, settlements, import documentation. One point of contact at SEBIR for all formalities.
How we work
Four steps to a transaction
01
Send an inquiry
Describe what you want to buy or sell. No need for a ready offer - just knowing what you need is enough.
02
Discussion
We reply and start with questions. Which certificates? What volume? What timeline? Only then do we move to a concrete proposal.
03
Coordination
We match the transaction parties, arrange mashgiach supervision if needed, handle documentation.
04
Transaction and settlement
The product reaches the buyer, documentation is complete. We are paid our commission only after the deal.
Write to us - first inquiry is free
Tell us what you are looking for: product, target market, required certification level. We will respond with questions - not a ready-made offer we cannot have yet. If your inquiry has potential, we will say so directly. If not - we will say that too.
Correspondence in Polish, English and Russian.
