How much of a reserve do you actually need?
A few figures are enough: how many people, for how long, full supply or rationed – and whether drinking water is included. You immediately receive quantities, cartons, pallets and floor space as a sound planning basis. The calculation is based on the 500 g daily ration; which ration is actually used is clarified in the consultation.

Why hold reserves
In an emergency, supply is no longer a purchasing matter
In a blackout, a supply chain disruption, flooding or a prolonged operational situation, it is the stock on hand that decides the outcome, not the ordering process. Anyone who only starts sourcing once the event has occurred is too late – and is competing with everyone else.
Keeping key personnel operational
Waterworks, power supply, care services, emergency services and public administration only function for as long as the people on site are provided for. A defined reserve is part of operational capability.
Organising distribution in advance
Standardised units make quantities, issue times, responsibilities and storage locations plannable. In an incident, every minute not spent on organisation counts.
Acting before the surge in demand
Once a situation becomes public knowledge, availability and delivery times can no longer be calculated. Strategic stockholding takes the time pressure out of critical decisions.

Drinking water
Seven OceanS preserved drinking water
Emergency water in portion sachets · 5.5-year shelf life
Food without water is only half a reserve. Each unit holds 500 ml in ten portion sachets of 50 ml – this allows controlled, waste-free issue to large numbers of people without opened containers spoiling. The multi-layer laminate remains usable even in a frozen state.

Manufacturer's recommendation: no more than 0.5 litres per person per 24 hours. It does not replace a drinking water supply, but bridges its failure.
Supplement
Long-life preserves & tinned bread
For acceptance and variety in prolonged operations
Compact rations cover energy requirements. For longer situations we supplement the reserve with tinned bread and long-life preserves – this noticeably increases acceptance among those being supplied and allows hot meals to be served. The selection is compiled according to duration, target group and storage capacity.

Storage & logistics
From the central warehouse to the remote site
We plan deliveries to suit the situation and the facility: directly to the site, into interim storage or staggered on call-off. Where discretion matters, we adapt packaging, documentation and outward appearance accordingly.
Central warehouse: palletised emergency rations, preserves and long-life food – ready for call-off at any time.Unbranded, black-wrapped pallets that give no indication of their contents.Plannable delivery with pallet handling – EU-wide and to schedule.
Direct delivery
Scheduled lorry delivery with pallet handling. We clarify delivery time windows, the loading bay situation and whether a forklift or pallet truck is available on site.
Interim storage & call-off
You secure the quantity, we hold it for you. Call-off in part quantities by site or deployment plan – useful where storage space still has to be created or several sites are supplied.
Discretion & protection
On request, unbranded packaging, black-wrapped pallets and water-, gas- and dust-tight protective pallets for demanding storage and transport scenarios.
Customer-owned reserve
Secure it today, store it with us, call it off when needed
You secure the goods at today's price, we store them properly – delivery follows only when you need them. That way you tie up neither your own storage space nor staff before the emergency demands it.
Securing today means costing today. Long-life food is pressed from grain, fats and sugar and hermetically sealed in special packaging – its price therefore follows the raw material, energy and freight markets. Anyone who commits today knows the price for the entire stock, regardless of how the procurement market develops afterwards. And if demand rises sharply during an incident, it is no longer price that decides but availability.
Ownership from conclusion of purchase
With the purchase, ownership of the stored goods passes to your organisation. The stock is assigned to you by name, documented batch by batch and not sold elsewhere.
Custody to storage standard
Storage in our warehouse depots: dry, cool and dark, with documented storage conditions and traceable batch allocation.
Call-off according to your operational plan
You call off part quantities or the entire stock whenever you need it – delivered on Euro pallets to the site you specify.
Price certainty over the term
Price and quantity are fixed at the time of purchase. Subsequent movements on the procurement market no longer affect the reserve you have already secured.
We set out the scope, storage period, insurance and call-off conditions in writing. The specific arrangements are agreed in a consultation.

Frequently asked questions
What procurement and operational planning ask most often
The answers come from consultations with municipalities, authorities and emergency organisations. For your specific case we work the figures through together.
How much emergency food does a municipality need per inhabitant?
The planning figure is one 500 g daily ration per person per day at full supply, or one ration per person per three days when issue is rationed. For a municipality with 1,000 people to supply over 14 days that comes to roughly 14,000 daily rations, a good ten euro pallets. Most organisations start with a base stock for seven to fourteen days and expand it in stages.
How long does long-life food actually keep?
Depending on the product, the best-before date of the compact rations lies between 5.5 and 20 years from production. Stored correctly below 22 °C, fitness for consumption is documented well beyond that – for GS-10 and BP-ER over 30 years. What matters is hermetically sealed individual packaging, constant temperature and darkness.
How much drinking water has to be planned in addition?
For planning we work with 2.5 litres per person per day, that is five units of the 500 ml emergency drinking water. The weight far exceeds the food component: for 80 people over 14 days, 616 kg of food is matched by around 3,080 kg of water. Anyone stocking only food is leaving out the more critical part.
Can you store the stock for us instead of us tying up our own space?
Yes. With the owned-stock model you buy the goods at today's price, ownership passes to your organisation, and we store them properly in our warehouse depots in Innsbruck and Wörgl. Delivery follows on call, in partial quantities or in full. That way you tie up neither floor space nor staff before the emergency demands it.
What records do we receive for procurement and audit?
Every delivery comes with data sheets, batch and shelf-life details, delivery notes and – where available – type approvals and certificates such as Halal. BP-ER and Seven OceanS additionally include a buy-back certificate. The documents are prepared to withstand scrutiny by a court of audit or internal audit.
Which countries do you deliver to, and how quickly?
We deliver EU-wide on euro pallets, to a fixed date and with pallet handling. Lead time and availability depend on quantity and product mix; for standard quantities from the depot we plan a few working days. For larger volumes we agree a delivery schedule in partial quantities. On request packed without branding and delivered discreetly.
