FRUTCO AG

For more than 25 years, Frutco AG has been the exclusive distributor of the products of Paradise Ingredients, Costa Rica, on the European market, in the Middle East and in parts of Asia. Paradise Ingredients is one of the global market leaders for processed banana products. For over 30 years, they have been making banana products which meet the safety and quality requirements of the Nestlé Group. Paradise Ingredients has spent a number of years diligently working to improve and maintain the certifications relating to food safety (ISO 22000: 2005 and now FSSC22000), quality (ISO9001: 2008 and the Nestlé Quality Management System - NYMS), the environment (ISO14001: 2004) and health and safety (OHSAS18001: 2007). Frutco AG supplies most of the big producers of fruit juices, baby foods and ice cream in Europe and many non-European countries with a clear focus on banana, mango, passion fruit, pineapple, guava and lime/lemon. Since we are already well-known in Europe, we are now looking to develop our business in the Middle East and Asia.
