Currently, the factory covers an area of about 36,000 m². It operates with state of the art equipment, and can process over 1,000,000 tons of oranges per year. This volume is equivalent to a production of well over 100,000 metric tons of FCOJ per season.

In addition to the processing facilities, our warehouses can store over 40,000 drums and our tank farms hold over 24,000 metric tons of bulk FCOJ at temperatures controlled between minus 10 and minus 20 degrees Centigrade. Our Essential Oil storage tanks can hold about 1000 tons.
