Apples & Pears have always been a cornerstone category for our business.
Freshmax works with premium pipfruit growers in New Zealand and Australia, servicing both retail customers at home and blue chip export customers across Asia. Our Australasian programs are complemented by supply from Washington state, the US’s premier apple growing region, and Chile, a rapidly growing player in the global apple market. Through our counter-seasonal supply platform we offer year-round supply of major product lines.
Our strong focus on varietal IP in this category has seen us introduce several prominent apple and pear brands, including Honey Belle™, Piqa Boo®, Modi®, Kiku®, and Kanzi®.
