Company
Company POND was founded in the year 2000. Basic activity of the company is processing of fruits and vegetables and other
herbal products in a way that freshly picket fruits are subjected to vacuum drying immediately after picking. With this
process we can remove water from the fruit in a very short time at low temperatures and thus permanently stop the fading
processes that alter the chemistry of the compounds found in fresh fruit. Dried remains contain high concentration of all
ingredient of a freshly picked fruit and form raw material for preparing dietetic food suplements. Food suplements that
contain these bioactive compounds help us to enrich nutritive composition of our diet and thus act preventively influence
the capabilities of our body to resist sickness, or to heal quicker from existing sickness by strengthening immunity.
To obtain high quality fruits and vegetables for this purpose we have created a network of subcontractors that grow them
for us in highly controlled way of farming on the fields that are far away from roads and other polluters. Fields on
which crops are grown are within 30 km from our facility, so that freshly picked crop can be processed in very shor time.
This process has no match in efficiency od keeping the full ingredient content of a freshly picked crop.
