Coroos B.V.
About
Company description
We are a Dutch family business, in operation since 1957. Our core competence is the preservation of fruits, vegetables and pulses. Our quality products find their way to consumers through the supermarkets of our European retail partners. From premium label to private label and basic products, we supply the right quality at the best price in each sector.
Mr Cor Oostrom, Sr., founder of the current family business, started in Kapelle in Zeeland with the canning of soft fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, all manual labour. Our first production site was built on our own private land in 1960. This was the start of large-scale preservation of fresh fruits and vegetables by Coroos.
We introduced the glass jar as new consumer packaging; a packaging that even today is the gold standard in Dutch supermarkets. Renovation and expansion in the factory manifested themselves in the form of putting in a new sterilisation tower, expanding the storage capacity and the creation of our own water purification system, unique in the Netherlands at that time....
