In 2005, we, Nivienne and Stephan, started at TICA under the name NiJaDo Beheer Gifts BV, also known as Candy Palace. We operate as both a wholesaler and distributor. Our team is young, driven, and together we’re always searching for products that are unique and innovative. Our assortment consists of confectionery, exclusive chips, popcorn, chocolate, marshmallows, nuts peanut sets, exclusive beverages, and much more.
“Typical TICA for us is the ged ambition, being reliable and always thinking ahead.“
Indeed! The name wasn’t chosen by accident; when you enter our stand, you find yourself in a candy palace where you can discover everything. Besides wholesale, we are the exclusive distributor for the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Our assortment includes various brands such as Hunterfoods Chips Dubai, Popcorn Shed England, and Chocolate in a Bottle France. Our target audience consists of gift shops, candy stores, delicatessen shops, hospitality businesses, amusement parks, cinemas, and in autumn, we supply extensively to Christmas hamper suppliers.
We are constantly working to offer trendy and current products from around the world. Specifically, products that are not yet available in the Netherlands. This makes us unique and special, and we strive to keep everything affordable. Additionally, we provide custom-made and private label products.

Since 2017, we’ve been present at TICA Aalsmeer and TICA Venlo, which provides us with an enormous network of buyers. In addition to our B2B website and social media, we can physically launch brands here and put them more in the spotlight. TICA is the ultimate place for us to present our brands, meet buyers, and establish new connections.
As a brand house, we’re proud ambassadors of every brand we carry! At TICA, we present many of our brands together in one large stand, where each brand maintains its own look and feel. This allows you to easily walk through the different shop-in-shops and immediately see how well all brands and their assortments complement each other.
Six years after launching our first brand Leeff, we now represent over 20 brands in more than 1,500 stores across the Netherlands and Belgium. And we’re extremely proud of that! It remains special to encounter our brands at enthusiastic entrepreneurs who consistently surprise their customers.
Naturally, we have once again succeeded in selecting special, unique, and trendy Christmas items this year. You’ll find these at our stands at TICA Aalsmeer and TICA Venlo. The collection includes colorful chocolate Christmas trees, Christmas pudding flavored popcorn, Belgian chocolate figures, chocolate Christmas trees with pearls, Christmas baubles filled with Côte d’Or chocolate, and figurines in surprising designs. We also have chips with exceptional new flavors like White Truffle Cheese. During the Look, Feel Buying Days, TICA members can come admire the collection and, of course, sample various products!
We have been working with TICA for more than 15 years. We initially started with non-food products. About four years ago, we changed to food products. Through this collaboration, we have grown stronger and achieved our goals. By maintaining close contact with our customers, we understand market trends and demands.
