Your short guide to product range, logistics & trends 2026 – with answers to the questions that customers and buyers ask us.
Who we are
We are Ryan's Specialties from Augsburg, Germany. Since 2004, we have been bringing authentic American, British, Scottish, and Irish specialties to Europe – reliably, in compliance with EU regulations, and with genuine product knowledge. As the European wholesale distributor of American Heritage products , we supply delicatessens, concept stores, cafés, and restaurants.
Since 2023, we have also been producing our own: premium air-popped popcorn from our Augsburg factory and loose organic tea without flavorings for Everly Grace .
What we stand for: short supply chains within the EU, clear specifications, strong brands – and product ranges that stand out on the shelf. Learn more about us .

Trends 2026 – what works in retail
- Regional and story-driven remains a key selling point. Products with origin and history perform well: Crown Maple (maple), traditional shortbreads , US BBQ sauces . Tip: Expand gift sets and seasonal editions.
- Clean label and plant-based products are now the standard. Cafes and hotels expect plant-based alternatives with short ingredient lists (e.g., Elmhurst 1925 ).
- Everyday Luxury. Small moments of indulgence encourage impulse purchases: Everly Grace popcorn , confectionery (e.g., Yumma ), syrups (e.g., Blackberry Patch ).
- Transparency and traceability. Product specifications, proof of origin, and certificates are mandatory – we provide the dossiers.

How do we curate and put together our product range for you?
The selection of new brands is the responsibility of Sabine Ryan – who has been passionately involved in the gourmet food market for over 21 years. Each brand undergoes a clear process: origin, craftsmanship, taste, sustainability, story, and sell-through . Sabine travels, tastes, tests – and only includes products that are authentic, high-quality, and exceptional. This is how collections are created that impress on the shelf and resonate with guests and customers.
