Zumex

Juice machine specialist Zumex Group has reported sales of €35m for 2017, a 35 per cent increase on the previous year.

The company said the results reflected its ongoing expansion in markets such as the UK, where it has had a subsidiary since 2014 and its customers include Marks & Spencer and Tesco.

Zumex recently opened its fifth international subsidiary in Germany, adding to those in the UK, France, the US and Mexico.

“It is fundamentally important for us to continue with our international leadership, since already around 90 per cent of our production is exported to more than 100 countries across the five continents,” said the group’s general manager Víctor Bertolín.

“For this reason, we continue to strengthen our presence in strategic markets by means of our own delegations, as is the case with the UK, allowing us to accompany our customers as they develop their juice business.”

The company has been expanding its client base, which now stretches beyond traditional horeca channels to supermarkets, and public and private spaces such as airports, sports facilities and offices.
