Tell us a bit about The Impulse Factory?
The Impulse Factory is a Dutch private label snack development company with more than 25 years of experience helping retailers and brands bring differentiated snack concepts to market. We specialise in organic, better-for-you and trend-led snacks, combining deep category expertise with a highly collaborative way of working.
We work with retailers and brands across Europe, developing snacks that combine indulgence with clear consumer benefits such as higher protein, more fibre, plant-based nutrition and clean-label credentials.
What makes us different is our PLaaS (Private Label as a Service) model. Rather than simply supplying products, we support customers throughout the entire journey, from trend insights and concept creation to recipe development, nutritional optimisation, sourcing, quality management and scalable European production.
In a market where retailers are expected to innovate faster, reduce complexity and deliver healthier choices without compromising on taste, PLaaS helps turn ideas into shelf-ready products with less risk and less workload for buying and marketing teams.
Based in Breda, The Netherlands, we work with retailers and brands across Europe, developing snacks that combine indulgence with clear consumer benefits such as higher protein, more fibre, plant-based nutrition and clean-label credentials. Our approach is built on long-term partnerships, flexibility and a genuine passion for product innovation.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen an organic range, develop a differentiated better-for-you proposition or identify the next growth opportunity in snacking, we help make innovation commercially relevant, operationally achievable and consumer-led.

At this year’s Natural & Organic Food Show, we’re focusing on what we see as the biggest opportunities shaping the future of snacking in the UK: protein-rich snacks, plant-based nutrition, natural functionality and clean-label innovation.
We see growing demand for products offering genuine nutritional benefits, including protein, fibre and satiety support.
Our hero showcase will be a range of high-protein puffed snacks made from lentils and fava beans, developed to deliver meaningful nutritional value while maintaining the indulgent crunch consumers expect. As the market shifts away from “less bad” propositions such as simply low-fat or baked snacks, we see growing demand for products offering genuine nutritional benefits, including protein, fibre and satiety support.
Alongside these concepts, visitors will discover a selection of clean-label innovations built around simple, recognisable ingredients, including our quinoa wave chips and seaweed-based snacks. These products demonstrate how differentiation can be achieved without compromising on ingredient transparency, taste or commercial scalability.
What we’re showcasing is not only a portfolio of products, but also a way of working. Through our PLaaS (Private Label as a Service) model, we help retailers and brands translate consumer trends into shelf-ready snack concepts, from market insights and product development to sourcing, quality management and scalable production. This enables buying teams to bring relevant innovation to market faster and with less complexity.
Why is exhibiting at the Natural & Organic Food Show an unmissable opportunity for you?
The Natural & Organic Food Show brings together exactly the audience we enjoy working with most: buyers, category managers and brand owners looking for the next generation of healthier, more sustainable and more relevant food products.
The UK continues to be one of Europe’s most dynamic markets for organic, plant-based and better-for-you innovation. At the same time, retailers face increasing pressure to differentiate private label ranges, respond to changing consumer expectations and bring innovation to market quickly and efficiently.
That is where The Impulse Factory can add value. Through our PLaaS model, we support retail teams with more than product supply alone. We combine market insight, development expertise, sourcing know-how and scalable production to help transform opportunities into successful shelf-ready snack concepts.
Natural & Organic Food Show provides the perfect platform to exchange ideas, discuss market challenges and explore how private label can lead future growth in categories such as organic snacking, plant-based products, high-protein snacks and functional nutrition.
For us, it is not simply about showcasing products. It is about building partnerships and helping retailers create snack ranges that meet today’s consumer expectations while staying ahead of tomorrow’s trends.
