They have allowed us to become the industry benchmark worldwide in the production of high fruit content solutions for food professionals who are passionate about integrating fruits into their repertoire.

Sourcing
We are continuously on the lookout for the ideal combination of soil, climate, fruit varieties, agricultural best practices, and local “know-how.”
Integration
We nurture powerful, lasting relationships with our growers via the establishment of long-term contracts and the acquisition of nearby processing plants. We are all about the “long game” and are here to stay.
Primary Processing
In our processing plants, we are constantly refining the way to best wash, peel, cut, and preserve fruits to retain their natural qualities.
Quality & Safety
Our rigorous company guidelines guarantee the traceability of healthy fruits which are grown to abide by the health and environmental standards in each country. Moreover, our factory is GFSI-certified.
Trials & Innovations
We are constantly experimenting with new growing methods and fruit varieties, and have dedicated orchards for agro-ecological research both in France’s Southwest region and Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
