CARRIÈRE – your trading partner for processed liquid and dried fruits, vegetables, powders and aromas.

Worldwide procurement of raw materials for the juice, beverage, and food industry involves challenges that are perfectly known to us, as well as related logistics. Our mission is to provide our suppliers and customers a substantial, professional and impeccable service – this has a long tradition in our family-run company.

Since its founding, Carrière GmbH has been a member of the SGF – the voluntary self-control of the fruit juice industry. We are also a member of SEDEX and plan to obtain the IFS Broker certification very soon. Many of our suppliers are associated with the SGF and have a GFSI certification. Their products are all in accordance with the AIJN Code of Practice. We hold close personal contact with our producers and visit them regularly – an essential basis for our successful activities.
