The research and development team tastes the products when they arrive so we immediately know whether they meet the customer’s requirements. Our research and development department consists of highly educated and expert professionals from different backgrounds, who know exactly what the product requirements are. They develop more than a thousand formulas per year, for which they test many of new ingredients and raw materials.. Thus, they can find and add the right ingredient for a top-quality juice. Because the team is in direct contact with the client, they are also able to act quickly and offer suitable solutions whenever this is necessary.
