Quality

Just one of our factors for success


Qualität

The best possible availability, product quality and security in processes and services are not just a service to us, but a decisive competitive factor! Our quality management is therefore shaped by the goal of living up to the requirements of consumers, our trade partners and customers, as well as national legislative authorities. What is most important, however, is our understanding and sense of responsibility when it comes to the sustainability of nature, which literally provides the basis of our livelihoods with its fruit.

Our quality assurance begins at the place of origin. Here, we are in constant contact with our producers thanks to specifically assigned quality managers on-site. All production sites have a quality management system developed by us in place, which not only documents the use of fertilisers and plant protecting agents, but also all staff training on-site. As regards logistics, compliance with the cold chain is secured and documented through regular temperature controls.

Our certificates

frutal has a achieved a higher-level IFS Broker ranking. This certificate comprises activities in goods distribution such as sales, transport, loading and unloading, as well as all means of transportation (e.g. truck, rail, ship). Our producers are additionally certified by Global G.A.P. and BRC Global. In contrast to mere middlemen, frutal is involved in the value-added chain right from the start, accompanying producers with our own employees in the country of origin.

Residue analysis

Different high-throughput laboratories specialising in pesticide analysis for fresh fruit and vegetables are our partners for food security and consumer protection. Through state-of-the-art technology, the provision of a large analysis capacity and the IFS Broker certificate-conforming implementation of the laboratory directly in the logistics chain, we are able to realise extremely fast and comprehensive food analyses. In addition, as a partner of the producers, we already carry out comprehensive residue analyses in the country of origin.
