Over 40 years of growth and industry leadership
It all started just in 1981, in the Alps region of an Italian province called South Tyrol. Sunshine and blue skies are the norm in this oasis, one of the largest, most intensive fruit-growing areas in all of Europe.
IPRONA’s current offerings include concentrates made from berries, citrus and tropical fruits, infusions and food colorants, functional polyphenol extracts and customised compounds produced with customer input every step of the way.

It requires a conscious and, above all, sustainable use of the available resources. We are convinced that the well-being of our society is based on the three pillars of sustainability and have built our company values on them:
