VOG Products guarantees certified organic apple products year-round thanks to its unique regional supply chain. The organic raw materials come directly from the producer organisation’s members, among which are some of the largest organic apple organisations in Europe.
Sustainable origin and processing
Established in 1967 by apple farmers, today VOG Products – the fruit processing company from South Tyrol (northern Italy) – is a key partner of the international food and beverage industry – especially in the organic sector. The raw material is exclusively procured from the Trentino-South Tyrol region, which ensures sustainable, regional processing.
Year-round availability and strict control
Alongside continuous product availability, VOG Products offers seamless traceability and strict quality controls. Coupled with the highest certification standards, these measures safeguard customer trust around the globe.
Direct procurement creates trust
“We procure organic raw material directly from our members – two producer organisations and 17 fruit cooperatives – to ensure maximum reliability in terms of the origin, traceability and identity of our products,” stated Christoph Tappeiner, CEO of VOG Products.
Diversity and quality in the organic range
The organic portfolio of VOG Products has constantly expanded. The company supplies high-quality products with the seal of the Bioland and Demeter organic farming associations and also has Bio Suisse and Naturland certifications. The guidelines of these associations go above and beyond those of the EU regulation and include specifications for social sustainability.
VOG Products processes between 300,000 and 400,000 tonnes of fruit every year – pears, apricots, peaches, kiwis and cherries in addition to apples. The raw material in certified organic quality is also available monovarietal in order to fulfil customer requirements.
