Specialisation
We are salad specialists
We grow around 40 types of salad in our agricultural areas in Spain and Italy exactly how you like them. Our strength is focusing on the food processing industry and the associated requirements relating to quality, consistency and shelf life. We also stand for guaranteed deliveries and offer our customers maximum planning reliability all year round.
Fresh from the field
Those who opt for their own production have everything under control: from sowing and harvesting to quality control, storage and shipping.
That is why we produce premium salads ourselves and are able to offer both flexibility and reliability in responding to the wishes and requirements of our fresh convenience customers. We always strive towards further development and innovation and in particular towards resource-saving and cost-efficient salad production with optimal quality.
Lettuces & baby leaves
Our salads are true top performers
The special thing about our salads is that they are produced exclusively for the fresh cut industry and as a result have the relevant physiological properties. We place a great deal of importance on our customers' product specifications and consistently bring the salad harvest in line with these. The result is always stress-resistant salads of the highest quality, which also meet all of our customers' desired criteria. We achieve all of this by managing and monitoring the entire production, warehouse and logistics processes on site.

Your planning reliability
Spain
Fertile land for lettuces
The Murcia region is the ideal area in which to grow our salads. Here we cultivate a variety of different lettuces on open fields covering an area of 1,400 hectares. Our portfolio consists of more than 40 different types of salad: from Apollo to Curly Endive, Romaine, Lollo rosso (red) and Iceberg to name but a few. In the immediate vicinity of our fields, we operate our warehouse with cold storage cells and modern vacuum cooling.
Italy
Our growing region for baby leaves
We have chosen the Sele Plain near Salerno as the ideal growing area for our baby leaves given its decades long tradition in baby leaf production. Since these are more delicate plants, we rely on protected cultivation (tunnel). Our diverse salad crops thrive on an area spanning 90 hectares and are carefully picked using a harvester then immediately stored, packed and vacuum-cooled.
