OUR CORE ACTIVITIES
WE MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
IT’S ALL ABOUT EXPERTISE, KNOWLEDGE AND DEDICATION
Konings takes care of your drinks at any stage, including the development of recipes and concepts, to fruit pressing, blending & processing and fermentation and packaging. Our expertise and passion for drinks are the driving force behind every challenge — we like challenges — that we encounter. We will happily develop YOUR drinks as well, while of course taking the utmost care of each and every ingredient or recipe.
FRUIT PRESSING
Fruit, mainly hand-picked apples and pears, are (cold) pressed throughout the year at the fruit processing sites. Where possible the fruit is locally sourced and exclusively pressed for our customers. We mostly produce fresh, cloudy fruit juice containing plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but semi-clear or clear juices are also possible. Whatever the process, you can count on us for the necessary in-depth quality control.
BLENDING & PROCESSING
Thanks to the expertise that Konings has built up over the years, we can make a large variety of beverages and ingredients: soft drinks, cocktails, juices, concentrates, spirits, ciders, fermented bases, ...
There is a correct approach to processing any type of beverage. Homogenisation, flash pasteurisation, filtration (crossflow, plate or candle filters), deaeration of beverages, mixing and blending of powders, aseptic or handling frozen, raw materials. You name it, we do it. We also work with specific ingredients such as tea, oxygen-sensitive beverages, syrups and high gravity blends. Through fermentation, we can offer an alcohol percentage between 0 and 96%. We can even make your juices crystal clear or with pulp. The combinations are endless.
THE ART OF FERMENTATION
Fermentation is a process that requires a substantial level of expertise, knowledge and dedication. Over many years, Konings has established a strong reputation when it comes to fermentation. Our sustainably sourced hand-picked fruit is used as the raw material for our fermented bases to make ciders, RTD cocktails and hard seltzers. As well as that, we have extensive experience in the ‘ingredients business’, and as such sell fruit juice and their derivatives: concentrates, ciders and fermented bases. This is how we make the difference! Konings is always ready to assist you in developing new and exciting flavours or in helping you ferment a product, while naturally maintaining the highest quality standards.
