DOWNLOAD COMPANY PROFILE <br/> We love the kiwifruit We believe the kiwifruit is a superfruit. As such, it needs a guardian, so we give it the very best love and care, with our people, processes and passion – so our customers can be sure they get the very best every time. And our staff do, too We employ a diverse mix of highly qualified permanent staff with high levels of technical expertise who bring an innovative problem-solving approach to their work. We also employ seasonal staff who come from all over the world. Many of the seasonal staff are international backpackers. We enjoy employing the ‘United Nations’ as it makes Kiwifruitz vibrant organisation. We are never short of workers, as our reputation as a good employer is well known, especially in the casual employment circles. The culture at Kiwifruitz is one where all staff take pride in knowing they are part of supplying the best kiwifruit puree and seeds in the world. GET IN TOUCH PUREE PROCESSING AND SEEDS Blast-frozen, not pasteurised, for freshness, colour and nutritional value As a specialist operation, Kiwifruitz has had to learn how to work smart, making advances in fruit puree processing technologies. We only process kiwifruit – no other produce ever enters our factory. We use modern processing equipment and unique cold production techniques along with strict quality control and hygiene programmes. Over time, we have developed proven systems and equipment that enable us to process kiwifruit efficiently, including blast freezing the puree, to maintain freshness, colour and nutritional value. This is greatly appreciated in overseas markets because pasteurised puree loses much off its colour and nutritional value. Efficient supply chain management We ensure we are consistent at managing our supply chain, from sourcing from kiwifruit growers in NZ and grading the fruit, to processing and packaging, and shipping and distributing product to customers. To supply the world’s best kiwifruit puree, you’ve got to be a master at your craft, and the Kiwifruitz process leads the industry. Our purpose-built factory As a pioneer in the production of kiwifruit puree and seed extraction, Kiwifruitz is a true trailblazer. We have a real Kiwi ingenuity, solutions-based approach. Many of our systems are purpose-designed in-house and the entire factory is purpose-built. As the business has grown, we have evolved to become increasingly efficient at what we do. We’re constantly thinking outside-the-box to make our factory as effective as possible. We’re a multi-award-winner in business innovation, manufacturing, food and many other award categories. And our relationships with customers is a testament to how efficient we are, often described as “excellent to deal with, very responsive, professional and tenacious”. SUSTAINABILITY We aim to use 100% of the fruit All Kiwifruitz product is 100% natural, with no artificial additives. Nutritionally, kiwifruit is packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre, making it a superfood. Because New Zealand Kiwifruit is grown to exacting-export standards, this makes it a very safe fruit to process.

After many years of development, today we produce puree, extract the seeds whole, and even process the skin for use in nutraceuticals. Great-tasting, nutritious, safe, easily processed and sustainable: in the fruit universe, the kiwifruit really is a star.
