SHIJIAZHUANG, China — September 22, 2026 — Hebei Tomato Industry Co., Ltd. (ChineseTomato / TMT), one of China’s Top 5 tomato paste exporters and the No. 1 exporter in Hebei Province, is drawing attention to a distinction that matters to buyers: the company does not only manufacture for others — it manufactures for itself, selling its own tomato paste and canned food brands in the same markets where its customers compete.
Those brands are TMT, FINE TOM, and GINNY, and they are on shelves across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe today. For a brand owner weighing a manufacturing partner, that fact carries a specific kind of reassurance. A factory that has built and defended its own consumer brands has already been tested on retail shelves, in repeat purchases, and against the market’s own judgement — not just in a supplier audit.
“Anyone can say they build quality in,” said a company spokesperson. “Our own brands make that claim visible. When a customer’s private-label order runs on the same lines and the same standards as the brands we sell under our own names, they are not taking our word for it — they can watch us carry the same risk they do.”
That model is anchored in a facility the company owns and operates end to end. Founded in 2007 with a total investment of US$50 million, the company’s 58,740-square-meter plant runs 9 dedicated tomato paste lines with an annual capacity of 100,000 tons, and in-plant production processes are not outsourced. Under its “Quality First” principle, quality control runs from raw material inspection through to finished product release, with SGS onsite verification welcomed and BV third-party inspection available on request.
The compliance framework behind it is built for retail and institutional buyers alike, comprising ISO 9001:2015 quality management, HACCP food safety, and Halal certification, together with AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) status granted by China Customs — a combination that supports entry into regulated markets and smoother customs clearance for importers. The company’s brand audit pass rate stands at 100%.
Alongside its own brands, the company runs a full private-label operation for partner brands, offering free logo and packaging design through an in-house design team, logistics-optimized export packaging developed over 19 years of shipping experience, and OEM/ODM support that lets partners bring a new line to market without building production themselves. Its portfolio spans tomato paste in five packaging formats, tomato ketchup, canned fish, seasoning powders and bouillon cubes, canned sweet corn, and starch.
The company’s industry standing has followed a similar path from making products to shaping the rules around them: it contributed to drafting China’s national standard for Canned Food Industry Terminology (20240074-T-469) in 2024, and led the development and release of the “High-Quality Tomato Sauce” group standard in 2025.
Today its products reach more than 120 countries and regions across Africa, the Middle East, Western Europe, North America, South America, and Southeast Asia, supported by appearances at major food trade exhibitions including the Canton Fair, Gulfood in Dubai, and regional food shows in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. On Alibaba.com, where the company has operated for 18 years, it holds a 5.0/5.0 store rating, a 100% on-time delivery record, and a response time under two hours, alongside more than 5,000 customer reviews.
