Our key values that impact everything we do
Company History
Berrico’s slogan isn’t ‘the feel good food company’ for nothing. The company was born out of love to help people make healthy food choices. Berrico was founded in 2001 by four entrepreneurs with the dream of marketing dried cranberries as a healthy alternative to less wholesome snacks. The two couples started the business from their makeshift office located in a spacious loft in Lelystad, the Netherlands.
After a fruitless attempt of launching a cranberry product for the consumer market in 2001, Berrico decided to take a different approach. The consumer market wasn’t ripe yet and Berrico decided to focus on the B2B market. The previous experience forced the four entrepreneurs to adapt quickly and enabled them to better navigate the market and build fruitful relationships along the way.
As pioneers in the organic cranberry market in Europe, they built a loyal customer base and have grown into a globally active supplier with a unique product range. The cranberry became very popular and while it still plays a big role in our business, our current product range consists of more than 30 product categories.
2021 marks the twentieth anniversary of Berrico FoodCompany and the company has grown from four to a team of more than 20 people working closely together. Berrico has made a strong name for itself and is firmly established as the largest supplier of cultivated organic cranberries in the European market.
