Interbio

About Interbio

Interbio is a Belgian organic distribution platform based in Sombreffe, built to serve organic producers and the professional buyers who source from them. It was created in 2009 as GPFL-Bio by the Lefèvre family and other like-minded producers, then renamed Interbio in 2013.

The company positions itself as a human-scale, committed logistics and sales partner for the organic sector. It connects producers with food professionals such as shops, restaurants, caterers, markets, artisans, and collective catering, with the aim of making fresh, high-quality organic products easier to access while respecting transparency, durability, taste, and fairer commercial relationships.

Interbio emphasizes a distribution model based on low margins, close collaboration with producers, and a resilient food system that values people, health, and environmental responsibility over profit maximization.

Core Values

• Proximity: Interbio highlights close relationships with producers and direct contact with professional customers, using that proximity to better understand needs and strengthen trust.
• Transparency: The company stresses transparent circuits, clear pricing agreed with producers, and honest communication without greenwashing or unnecessary marketing.
• Quality: Interbio focuses on fresh, organic, and carefully selected products, with an emphasis on taste, traceability, and reliable cold-chain handling.
• Durability: Sustainability is central to the model, from eco-responsible logistics infrastructure to support for local, ethical, and short-chain sourcing.
• Fairness: Prices are set in consultation with producers and margins are kept low, with the stated goal of fairly valuing producer work while keeping organic food accessible.

Unique Aspects

• Producer-led origins: Interbio began as a collective initiative created by producers themselves, which shapes its identity as a platform built by and for the people who grow and make the products.
• Human-scale organic logistics: The company presents itself as a Belgian organic logistics platform with a deliberately engaged, low-margin model rather than a profit-maximizing distributor.
• Broad professional customer base: It serves a wide range of food professionals, including retailers, restaurants, collective catering, artisans, markets, and e-commerce players.
• Eco-responsible infrastructure: Interbio operates from an 8,000 m² warehouse in Sombreffe with temperature-controlled zones, refrigerated vehicles, and energy-conscious features such as solar panels.
• Short-chain and local-first approach: The company prioritizes Belgian and local products when possible, while still sourcing internationally when needed, and explicitly favors local, artisanal, and ethical supply chains.
