Tradin Organic announces the acquisition of Citromil, a citrus processing facility in Spain, alongside a recent investment in a beverage manufacturing facility in Florida, marking important steps in its strategy to build a fully integrated, end-to-end supply chain for organic ingredients and beverages.

Located in the Murcia region, one of Europe’s key citrus-growing areas, Citromil specializes in processing citrus fruits into juices, concentrates, and essential oils. The acquisition strengthens Tradin Organic’s position in citrus ingredients by bringing processing capabilities closer to origin and enhancing control over quality, traceability, and supply reliability.

Complementing this upstream investment, Tradin Organic is expanding its downstream capabilities through a strategic investment in a manufacturing facility in Florida. The site will become the Beverage Foundry, bringing together ingredient sourcing, processing expertise, and consumer-focused innovation to deliver premium organic beverages at scale.

Together, these investments represent a major step toward a more connected and resilient supply chain, from farm-level sourcing and ingredient processing to final product manufacturing and delivery.

Floris Wesseling, CEO of Tradin Organic:

"This is a natural next step in our strategy to further integrate our supply chain across both ingredients and finished products. By combining citrus processing at origin with dedicated beverage manufacturing capabilities, we strengthen our ability to deliver consistent quality, improve speed to market, and create more value for our customers.”

The integration of Citromil enhances Tradin Organic’s capabilities in citrus ingredients while opening opportunities to develop value-added products, including citrus oils and side streams that support beverage applications.

Roberto Vilaplana Perez, CEO of Citromil:

"Becoming part of Tradin Organic marks an exciting next step for Citromil. With our shared commitment to quality and sustainability, we see strong opportunities to further develop our capabilities and expand our reach.”

The Spanish facility is transitioning toward increased organic production, in line with Tradin Organic’s long-term commitment to organic agriculture and sustainable sourcing. Closer integration from farm to ingredient also supports more responsible resource use and strengthens the long-term resilience of citrus production.

Anne Floor van Dalfsen, Sustainability Manager at Tradin Organic, commented:

"What excites us most is the opportunity to support the next phase of nature-positive citrus production in Europe. By working more closely across the value chain, we can accelerate organic and regenerative practices, advance responsible water stewardship, and build more resilient citrus systems for growers, customers, and ecosystems.”

The acquisition advances our sustainability goals by reducing waste through whole-fruit utilization, unlocking value from side streams such as peels and oils.

Tom Wiegmans, Business Unit Manager Fruit & Vegetables at Tradin Organic:

"This addition strengthens our lemon offering and allows us to connect more directly with both growers and customers. It enhances our ability to respond to market needs and develop tailored, high-quality citrus solutions.”

At the same time, the Beverage Foundry in Florida enables closer alignment between raw material sourcing and final product development, directly linking citrus ingredients to consumer-ready beverages and supporting a more agile, customer-focused approach in the U.S. retail market.

Lisa Shanower, SVP U.S. Retail, added:

"The Beverage Foundry brings us closer to a true ‘grove-to-bottle’ model, where we can connect our sourcing strengths with innovation and execution in the market. It enables us to respond faster to customer needs, strengthen our organic orange juice offering, and develop differentiated beverages while building stronger, more collaborative partnerships.”

With these investments, Tradin Organic continues to build a more integrated, future-proof value chain, linking sourcing, processing, and manufacturing to support customers with high-quality, sustainable organic ingredients and beverages.
