Van Drunen Farms Europe is part of the American identically named company from Momence, IL, which is a globally known leader in the production of lyophilized fruit and vegetables on the healthy food market. At the end of the 19th century, the production plant in America was founded by brothers, emigrants from the Netherlands, who transferred herb production to American soil.

The production in Serbia with its headquarters in Banatsko Karađorđevo, close to Zrenjanin, was opened in 2002. At that time, but also today, it was one of the biggest American investments in Serbia, with an initial investment of USD 13 million. Approximately 70 employees work at the company in Serbia. In this region, Van Drunen Farms Europe was the first to start the fruit and vegetable processing using the lyophilisation technique, which is the most expensive kind of fruit and vegetable processing, as it requires special conditions, production processes, i.e. technology and knowledge. It includes drying the product from the frozen state, that way preserving its nutritional values for later use.

We are proud of the fact that all our raw materials are cultivated and frozen on the territory of Serbia and in surrounding European countries, except tropic fruit which we purchase in South America and dry in Serbia. From the production in Serbia, the lyophilized fruit and vegetables are exported to all parts of the world and it is one of the two factories located outside of the United States of America.
