Sanco AG fruit juices

In the 80s, we as Cimaprod / Sanco, experienced the rapid development of the fruit juice market with active participation! From almost 4 liters of orange juice per person annual consumption, the market grew to around 15 liters today. This in Switzerland, as well as in Austria. This fascinating market development confirms our decision “to stay on the ball”.

With strategically important producers, such as Citrosuco in Brazil, we were able to agree on exclusive local representations and subsequently successfully implement them. Nicolas Klopfer recognized in this pioneering time the need to combine quality and price with good service. Passion to juice and service has been our motto since then.

With first-class raw materials from Brazil, Florida and Sicily, Cimaprod / Sanco began to serve the bottling plants and in many individual cases was also able to exert an advisory influence. A changing lifestyle brought new consumer habits, which is why trend-oriented juices, or juice blends, became more and more prevalent. Increasingly, our customers also showed interest in additives, such as Pulp (cells), so that they could offer even more attractive end products.
