About us
At abbGrowers, everything revolves around blueberries. Since 1998, we have operated as a family business with one mission: to give blueberries a permanent place in people’s daily lives. We do this by connecting the entire chain: growers, customers and consumers, across borders and seasons.
We connect the chain
What started with a handful of growers has grown into a global network that supplies blueberries year-round. We combine the best of both worlds: the personal attention of a family business and the strength of an international organisation. We stay close to our growers and our product and keep our eyes on the market.
We support growers, safeguard quality, invest in technology and work every day on improvement. Not to grow for the sake of growth, but to become better: in quality, collaboration and sustainability.
Our values
At abbGrowers, we work every day from five core values:
Collaboration
Strong relationships make the difference.
Quality
Commitment
Innovation
Flexibility
Moving forward sustainably
- Lower CO₂ emissions through efficient logistics and shorter transport lines
- Sustainable packaging with less plastic, more r-PET and compostable materials
- Responsible sourcing and fair, long-term cooperation with growers worldwide
- Certified quality, including CoC, PlanetProof, Sedex, SKAL, GGN and SIFAV.
We are abbGrowers
We are a down-to-earth and ambitious family business built on quality, innovation and connection. With dedication and expertise, we deliver the finest blueberries and build long-term partnerships. We continuously invest in technology, people and collaboration, not to reinvent the wheel, but to improve: in our processes, in sustainability and in everything we do.
Together with our growers, customers and colleagues, we work each day toward a healthy future founded on quality, innovation and connection.
abbGrowers.
Growing together, connecting together.
