Titan Frozen Fruit

What Titan Frozen Fruit does

Titan Frozen Fruit is a privately held, B2B specialty ingredient processor headquartered in Santa Maria, California, with a stated founding lineage of 40+ years in fruit ingredient development. The company produces Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) and Block Quick Frozen (BQF) strawberries in whole, sliced, and diced formats alongside single-strength and concentrated purees (pasteurized or aseptic) for strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry, plus all-natural strawberry essences and fruit preparations with particulates for ice cream and yogurt applications. Manufacturing is anchored by a new 136,500 sq ft processing facility in Santa Maria (opened 2025) attached to a 270,000 sq ft public cold storage, supplemented by a dedicated R&D Center in Wilsonville, Oregon and an administrative office in Salinas, California. Processing equipment is custom-sourced from the USA, Italy, and Sweden, and the company holds SQF (GFSI), OU Kosher, Oregon Tilth Organic, and LEED certifications.

The company's business model is industrial B2B ingredient supply: products are sold under minimum order quantities in retail poly bags, foodservice tubs, cases, pails, drums, and totes to retail food and beverage manufacturers (ice cream, yogurt, beverages, sauces, jams, preserves) and to the foodservice industry. Go-to-market is sales-led via a direct sales team (phone: 805-201-2234), a company website with sample request workflow (1 lb standard sample size), and custom formulation support. Pricing is quote-based on industrial volumes and is not publicly disclosed. The product is sourced primarily from the Santa Maria growing region, and Titan offers conventional and organic variants with optional sugar, stabilizer systems, and seed/no-seed configurations.

Ownership is private with no parent company disclosed; the company is led by Tom Byrne (President and CEO), co-founders Eric Duyck and Quinn Johnson, Jon Larsen (Chairman), and Alan Cutler (CFO). Capital history includes four funding rounds (most recently in January 2023, led by Vestar Capital Partners and Windhover Capital) and the 2017 acquisition of Cal Pacific Specialty Foods. Geographic reach is domestic North America, and Titan does not maintain an app, public API, or known AI/ML capabilities.
