The fruit processing company focuses on custom-tailored solutions that can be flexibly adjusted to meet individual customer needs.

As an established partner of the international food and beverage industry, VOG Products processes between 300,000 and 400,000 tonnes of fruit from integrated and organic cultivation every year. The company offers a broad portfolio of high-quality products like fruit juices (concentrate and direct juice), fine fruit purées, steamed fruit, purées with chunks and IQF fruit. With an export quota of around 90 %, VOG Products is the supplier to more than 50 countries worldwide. Alongside apples, the company processes other fruit, including pears, peaches, apricots, kiwis and cherries.

“Innovation is one of our main drivers,” said Christoph Tappeiner, the CEO of VOG Products. “Every day, our research and development department works to optimise existing products and develop new, innovative solutions.”

The in-house development department in Laives (South Tyrol/Italy) enables both the implementation of customer-specific solutions and the successful realisation of private-label projects.

Double apple power

One of the special features of the product line and the company’s most recent innovation is applesauce with apple chunks. This multi-faceted product is suitable as a high-quality base mixture and as the starting product for further processing in the food and beverage industry. The possible applications range from ready-to-eat apple compote for the restaurant trade to the ideal filling for baked goods and the fruity component of yoghurt products.

The right packaging solution for any need

When it comes to packaging solutions, VOG Products offers the food service sector practical alternatives like the “Bag in Box” (from 5 to 25 kg) or flexible pouch formats alongside the classic cans and cardboard boxes.

Be it compote mixes with fruit chunks, pure fruit purées, steamed fruit, fresh fruit chunks or frozen fruit, VOG Products stands for uncompromising quality. This is guaranteed by numerous certificates and a unique, traceable supply chain. The raw goods come from the members of the cooperative, who are backed by around 6,000 fruit-growing families. This structure ensures constant availability and makes VOG Products a reliable partner for customers worldwide.
