Quality assurance
Quality for our customers
We fully meet our customers’ requirements through the quality of our service, products and innovation. Our products and logistics meet all food safety and legal requirements.
Supplier quality
Both our own factory and all our suppliers are certified according to a recognized GFSI standard (FSSC 22000, BRC or IFS). The HACCP concept of each production facility is reviewed annually.
SGF certification is a mandatory requirement. Analyses of pesticides and other contaminants are carried out annually by recognized laboratories.
In addition, most production facilities have a kosher and/or halal certificate.
All quality measures implemented guarantee the traceability of all our fruit products from the individual farm to the products we deliver to our customers and meet the legal requirements of the countries we supply.
Warehouse / cold storage
Since 1992, the Dutch company Extraco in Dintelmond has been storing and preparing our fruit products for delivery to our customers. All processes at Extraco (whether processing or logistics) are subject to strict quality control and can be monitored at all times.
Logistics services
Our logistics department bundles planning, purchasing and control for the optimal handling of goods traffic, financial settlements and the flow of information. All of this is key to success in the raw materials business and has a direct impact on on-time delivery to our customers.
We deliver either from our warehouses in the various countries or directly from origin to our customers all over the world.
Funding
Our service package also includes solid financing. We know the complexity of purchasing raw materials over many years and take care of the financing side of the business.
Our contract concept offers our customers to call off the required quantity (just-in-time) and only pay for the delivered part in the currency in which they wish to conclude their contracts, such as USD, EUR or CHF.
In the event that your chosen currency differs from the home currency of the commodity, we hedge the entire contract volume over the entire term. This enables us to guarantee you a price in your preferred currency for the term of the contract.
