Ardo Retail Solutions

Your partner for fresh frozen vegetables, herbs and fruit Ardo in a nutshell

Sustainable partnership

Innovation at all levels

We are working hard to develop truly sustainable ways of growing our crops and producing our products that consider the crop’s requirements, the activities of our farmers and the demands of our customers.

Year after year, harvest after harvest, Ardo supplies its continuously growing markets around the world with high quality fresh frozen vegetables, herbs, fruit, pasta, rice and potatoes.

Our knowledge throughout the whole chain combined with our flexible approach allows us to satisfy current and adapt to future market needs through innovation, investment and technical excellence. At Ardo, we are always developing new products in response to market needs and trends.

Thorough product knowledge

In our continual search to improve both our existing products and the range that we offer, we run extensive field trials each year that allow us to take full advantage of our geographical and climatic spread to develop new products and new varieties for our customers.

Local worldwide approach

With a global sales network there’s always a member of our sales team close to hand, to react quickly to local market requirements.

Ardo supports long-term relationships with our growers, our suppliers and our customers, which we believe offer stability for all parties and are necessary to provide the confidence for sustainable investments.

21 production, packing & distribution sites in 9 countries

Ardo’s production, packing & distribution sites are located in the most fertile crop growing regions. The close proximity of our factories to our crops is one of our key strengths and ensures that only minutes are lost between harvest and locking in the product’s natural goodness in our freezers.

Quality is the cornerstone of our corporate strategy

Field management

Production

Ardo works together with over 3 500 farmers to grow 87 crops on 49 000 ha in 9 countries.

Our aim is to deliver our ingredients in the same state that Mother Nature intended: fresh, nutritious and picked at peak ripeness in the crop’s natural season. Applying integrated crop management and production techniques, and focussing on quality assurance and high ethical standards, we control the product from seed to customer.

We produce frozen vegetables that are grown with the maximum respect for nature and the environment.

Therefore we work pro-actively towards more sustainable agricultural production methods, whilst at the same time remaining commercially competitive. We strive to minimize the impact of our growing and processing activities on the environment, and we ensure at the same time the personal safety and life quality of our farmers and employees.

This approach is summarized in our MIMOSA-program - Minimum Impact with Maximum Output Sustainable Agriculture.

We installed in our factories new state-of-the-art packing lines with recent technology for metal detection and colour-, shape- and density sorting.

Quality Product quality is one of the cornerstones of our business.

We employ 53 agronomists and 148 technicians who work 24/7 to ensure that our products arrive at your site in specification and to the highest quality standard.

Our agricultural departments care for the crops until they are delivered to our processing sites where our Quality Assurance teams take over and monitor raw materials, production processes, product selection and packing.

Ardo delivers to a large portfolio of retail customers Customised products and a precise response to the needs of our various customers provide the secret of success in this challenging food retail market. Our customers can rely on the quality, freshness and hygienic purity of our products. Ardo meets your demands with appropriate products that correspond to your specific market.

Our objective is to supply our customers with products that meet the highest safety and quality standards.

Our production sites are certified to internationally recognised standards (BRC / IFS) that in turn provide a platform for the more demanding Ardo group standards.

Our Quality Managers play an active role at all stages of production and we encourage them to become experts in each of the crops that they are involved with. To acquire this knowledge they accompany our agronomists on field visits and undertake training in the production processes in our factories.

Our Quality Managers use their 'Complete Product Knowledge' each day. Their efforts help to build customers’ confidence and add value to our customers’ reputation by delivering the quality required that we are renowned for.
