SVZ International

What SVZ International does

SVZ International B.V., headquartered in Breda, Netherlands, is a B2B supplier of fruit and vegetable ingredients serving global food and beverage manufacturers. Founded in 1875, the company operates four industrial processing facilities in Poland (Tomaszow), Spain (Almonte), Belgium (Rijkevorsel), and the United States (Othello, Washington), and offers a portfolio built around five core product formats — single strength puree, puree concentrate, juice concentrate, NFC (Not From Concentrate) juice, and IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) — available in both conventional and organic variants across more than 50 fruit and vegetable varieties. Specialized lines include Carte Blanche functional white vegetable bases for clean-label applications and fermented NFC ingredients. Underlying the manufacturing platform is a vertical agronomy capability: a dedicated team of expert agronomists works year-round with partner farmers and university research centers on variety selection, cultivation, and harvest optimization, with factories co-located to growing regions to preserve freshness, color, and nutrients.

SVZ was acquired by Döhler Group in July 2023 (previously owned by Cosun) and operates as a subsidiary within Döhler's natural ingredients portfolio while retaining its brand and direct customer relationships. Revenue is generated through negotiated, long-term B2B supply contracts with enterprise F&B customers across horizontal application segments — premium juices and beverages, dairy and ice cream, jams and fruit preparations, bakery and confectionery, soups, baby food, and pet food — supported by an enterprise field-sales model with technical application specialists. Distribution is direct, with no consumer-facing or retail channel. Value is differentiated through multi-jurisdiction certifications (BRC, FDA, Kosher, Halal, SGF, Organic), quality systems including trained sensory panels, and consecutive EcoVadis Gold sustainability ratings since 2015, all anchored to a stated commitment to 100% sustainable sourcing by 2030.
