History, Present & Future

• Our Focus is on Partnership, long term rather than a Transactional approach

• Focus on Account and Category Management – the right people, building trust & integrity within your business

• Avocados as a foundation has permitted the building of a citrus business through loose Limes, & via lemons from Summer 2023

• Added-value avocado products form a key part of the portfolio of supply

• Looking forward – exploration of new supply products and innovations is always key to our success

Further range of products as the integration of all our businesses takes shape

Value added (HPP) as well as fresh exotics to compliment our current “Wholehead” businesses

Our “family” across the globe offers many different opportunities

Key to ensure best practice across all sites and all products

Health and Safety as well as consistent product quality is at the heart of what we do

In summary

Westfalia Fruit– we are truly a vertically integrated business

Continued source and product investment means ongoing programme of growth

Increasing European and global presence will improve availability and a streamlined supply chain

Our integration will deliver efficiencies, offer additional products and cement strong growth

Quality is our highest priority
