Owner-managed, passionate and innovative.
Markus Schneider, founder and managing director of Frutania, deals day after day with valuable food and beverages from nature: with fresh fruit and vegetables. For him, “incoming and outgoing goods are also a feast for the eyes and the palate.” Eye level with his team, producers and trade partners are among his company maxims. Equally formative is his innovative spirit. With the most modern technologies and cultivation methods, his company ensures quality, reliability and profitability.

Regional & worldwide: partnership.
We critically select our production and supply partners according to a wide range of quality characteristics. Certification according to international quality standards in production, packaging and transport are basic requirements for cooperation with producers and suppliers. All goods traded by us must also undergo strict quality controls. In this way, we ensure a high quality level of our products at any time of the year.
Essential are the controllable cultivation in our partner farms, the consistently high product quality and the traceability of the origin of all products traded by us. The desire of our modern growers to innovatively participate in far-sighted, sustainable solutions for the fruit and vegetable industry characterizes our successful collaboration.
Regular supplier audits and producer seminars also enable a personal and intensive exchange with our partner companies. All the above-mentioned building blocks are part of the basis of our efficient production and marketing system.

Quality: Promised.
The seal “Picked in Germany”, developed and protected by us, underlines the domestic and regional origin of our products in the German season. The design of the quality seal symbolizes the careful handwork with which Frutania products are picked and treated.
Achieving more together.
