Product
Diverse International Portfolio
Kosher-Certified Specialty Items
A core product move is kosher certification: in 2025 over 92% of imported specialty SKUs for Willi-Food required rabbinical supervision to sell in Israeli supermarkets (NielsenIQ). Willi-Food partners with 12 international manufacturers to adapt lines and fund inspections, cutting approval time from 9 to 4 weeks on average. Certification wins shelf space—certified SKUs achieve 1.8x distribution in major chains and supply 60% of institutional kitchens.

Private Label and Proprietary Brands
- 12% SKU margin premium
- 1.8% defect rate
- 18% YoY private-label growth

Focus on Frozen Food Innovation
The frozen-food line—vegetables, doughs, and ready meals—remains a core pillar, accounting for about 38% of Willi-Food’s 2025 revenue (EUR 132m of EUR 350m), driven by long shelf life and steady year-round demand.
In late 2025 the company launched health-focused SKUs (higher-fiber, lower-sodium), targeting a 12% CAGR in frozen-channel sales through 2028 and improving gross margin by ~150 bps.

Volume-Based Retailer Incentives
