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.

IPRONA SPIRIT

Building something from scratch is difficult. But it is even more difficult to remain successful in the long term and to secure continuous growth. 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:

1 - the economic pillar

2 - the social pillar

3 - the environmental pillar

Steady
Progress

Steady progress determines our corporate governance practices. We use and promote technological progress to increase efficiency and optimize cost structures. This gives us an economic and ecological advantage. A win for IPRONA, but also for our society and the environment.

Appreciative Cooperation

Our personnel policy, the charity we do and our long-standing partnerships with suppliers and customers underline our high level of social responsibility. This commitment is rewarded with excellent staff retention. Employees stay with us for years and their skills, knowledge and experience are the most valuable asset of our company.

Sense of
Responsibility

Our mission is "We take the best from nature to provide the best for our clients". So there is no doubt: Only a healthy and intact environment allows us to fulfill our mission. We want to offer the best quality to our partners. That is why it is our duty and our will to preserve and protect nature.
