Gerber Juice Company Ltd
Totally focused on producing high quality, low cost juices and juice drinks
At Gerber Juice Company Ltd we pride ourselves on being the UK's number one operator in the fruit juice
market. We're well known for our high quality and our low costs. It's a position we covet and continue to
build on - week in, week out. We contribute our success to the fact that it's all we do. We are totally
focussed on this one market sector. We never let anything distract us. We don't intend to diversify into other
grocery sectors, or other business areas. It's as simple as that.
Our approach - The soft drinks market
These days, soft drinks are an essential commodity in the UK. We're drinking on average 200 litres per person, each year. This represents an increase of almost 50% over the past ten years. And, within the soft drinks market, the juice and juice drink sectors are experiencing the most dramatic growth of all. Which is why we are concentrating on them.
What's more, market analysts believe that this trend is set to continue. The consumption of soft drinks per person in the USA for example is still double that in the UK. Gerber Juice Company Ltd are in the perfect position to take advantage of this amazing projected growth. After all we own the largest ambient and chilled juice filling plant in the country, with sales exceeding 800 million litres a year.
