What Fruchtwarenhandel Ciaciuch Gmbh & Co. Kg does

Fruchtwarenhandel Ciaciuch GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned B2B wholesale distributor of fresh produce based in Fretzdorf (Wittstock/Dosse), Brandenburg, Germany, operating since 1991 under founder Andrzej Ciaciuch and managing director Stefan Ciaciuch. The company supplies restaurants, caterers, hospitals, and local retailers across nearly all of northeastern Germany with a portfolio of more than 1,000 fresh SKUs spanning fruit and exotics, vegetables, dairy, eggs, deli, potatoes, herbs, nuts, oils, mushrooms, preserves, prepared cut produce, beverages, and bread, plus a BIO (DE-ÖKO-044) certified organic line. Its operational technology is a modern, owned refrigerated fleet with depot cold storage, enabling six-day direct delivery under continuous cold chain, complemented by an in-house webportal at webportal.fruchtwaren.de for digital ordering.

The business runs on a transaction-based wholesale model: quote-based unit pricing with weekly promotional offers, a dedicated field sales team (Außendienst), and long-standing IFS and BIO quality certifications that qualify it for institutional and organic-channel buyers. With 37 employees servicing 113 business customers and running import operations 360 days per year, Ciaciuch positions itself as a one-stop 'A to Z' fresh supplier rather than a single-category vendor. The legal form is a GmbH & Co. KG (HRA 1596, Amtsgericht Neuruppin), with the general partner being Fruchtwarenhandel Andrzej Ciaciuch GmbH (HRB 6822); no external investors or parent company are disclosed, and revenue is not publicly reported.
