Bringing frozen foods to the next level
Innovation in the fields
Thanks to decades of experience in agronomy and industrial production, we have built know-how that drives innovation across the entire supply chain. From fields to the plates of end consumers, solutions developed at Crop’s bring frozen foods to the next level.
Our innovation mindset begins already in the fields. In close collaboration between agronomists and farmers, we introduce the methods of precision agriculture to keep the state of our crops under close scrutiny and optimise where necessary.
Innovation in products & packaging
In-house Research & Development unit
We choose to lead innovation rather than follow it. Our R&D kitchen in the Ooigem headquarters is the place where culinary art meets product development. Here, Crop’s chefs and food technologists work with the upcoming trends to create new recipes and packaging solutions. What is more, each unit (Vegetables, Fruit and Frozen Meals) brings its own insights and expertise to the table, inspiring each other with solutions and ideas.
Custom solutions based on your needs
Your product and production needs are central to our service. The end goal is to understand your challenge and find synergy with our capabilities. Keeping an open mind has shown us many times that just because things are done a certain way so far, it doesn’t mean it is the optimal solution. A shining example are our fruit purees, frozen in small pieces that allow accurate dosage, even for the smallest applications. Goodbye defrosting purees in big bulks. Hello, zero food waste, convenience, and faster preparation.
Our creativity, your convenience
We are very aware of the issues posed by the lack of manpower in the food service and production sectors. On a product level, we develop solutions that reduce cooking time, easing the preparation process for restaurants.
Innovation in process
Our direct involvement throughout the entire supply chain gives us great flexibility when it comes to processes. By understanding and managing every stage, we can shift fast and respond to challenges in an agile way. On an operational level, we invest in mechanisation to increase efficiency in both fields and factories and make sure we deliver on our promises.
