Becker GmbH & Co.Eislebener Fruchtsaft OHG

06295 Eisleben - Germany

At beckers bester, fruit juice extraction and processing are an art and a science that we've been successfully practicing for many years now. Ever since the Becker family processed its first apple back in 1932, we've built our fruit-juice business and a platform of trust, established by maintaining highest standards of product quality and customer service.

Over the last 70 years, our business has grown into a diversified family company with sales and processing facilities across Germany.
The opening of our own processing plant for raw materials at our subsidiary in Eisleben has played an important part in this development.

Becker in Eisleben supplies the industry's widest selection of apple-juice products, including cloudy apple juice, not-from-concentrate juice, apple concentrate and apple essence. In addition, we also produce various berry-juice products as well as fruit purées. These are available in a selection of industry-standard packs. At the same time, we are always looking to roll back the boundaries of innovation in order to meet our customers' requirements.

Professional workforce

Whereas top-quality products and customized service are the keystones of our company's success, neither of these is possible without a well-trained workforce.

We provide effective advanced training, thereby ensuring that all of our employees at every level are highly qualified and motivated. Each year, we take on new apprentices, who train at our plat in Eisleben to become qualified fruit technicians.

The ethical considerations

Our aim is to manufacture high quality products that fully satisfy both enviromental considerations and customer requirements.

"Back to the roots"

Traceability
Our ability to trace each piece of fruit back to the farm where it was produced is a vital element in our quality-control process. We have built up a long-term relationship with the vast majority of our fruit plantations so as to ensure that they consistently produce the correct quality of fruit each year.

The fruit grown at each plantation is carefully selected according to specific criteria for optimum production and flavour. Likewise, cultivation conforms to the latest ecological standards, and harvesting is carried out with the greatest of care.

These partnerships with the individual grower ensure that the environment impact of fruit production is kept to a minimum - in conformity with our company's strategy and philosophy.
