Our Company History
AUSTRIA JUICE can look back on more than 80 years of history that made it the global company it is today. Everything began in 1936 in a place called Kroellendorf in Lower Austria, with the production of brandy and fruit wine and the trade of dessert fruit from the Mostviertel Region.
Today, the corporate headquarters of the group remains in this humble hometown so that it can continue to develop expert knowledge in the most important business areas: beverage compounds, flavours, and fruit juice concentrates.
