What Fruitcrown Products does

Fruitcrown Products Corporation is a fourth-generation, family-owned specialty food ingredient manufacturer founded in 1905 by E.R. Jagenburg Sr. after immigrating from Germany. The company pioneered aseptic fruit production in the United States and operates from two facilities in Farmingdale, NY (headquarters) and Beloit, WI (added in 2017, doubling capacity). Its proprietary aseptic processing technology — protected by patents dating from the early 20th century — produces pathogen-free fruit ingredients with extended ambient shelf life, eliminating frozen storage costs and microbiological contamination risks for food manufacturers. The technology is differentiated by its ability to preserve fruit integrity, color, and texture without oxidation or juice draining.

The company's product portfolio spans aseptic fruit bases and custom flavor systems across four primary verticals: dairy (yogurt, ice cream, cultured products), beverages (beer, smoothies, juice drinks, tea), baking (fillings, glazes, toppings), and prepared foods (sauces, marinades, dressings). Products are sold in bulk aseptic packaging formats ranging from half-gallon containers to 800-liter stainless steel totes. Fruitcrown holds SQF2000 Level 2, Organic (QAI), and Kosher (KOF-K) certifications, qualifying it for large regulated food manufacturers.

The business model is B2B sales-led with no public pricing disclosure. The company works directly with client R&D teams to develop and refine custom formulations, positioning itself as a collaborative partner. Distribution centers and warehouses are strategically placed to service manufacturers across the entire United States, but no international footprint is claimed. The company has no external institutional investors or parent company; ownership and control remain concentrated within the Jagenburg family across four generations.
