FDL's Liquid Blending Facility

FDL Development & Innovation
More than 45% of the Juices we supply are tailor-made to clients’ specific requirements. At any time our development team is working on up to 30 separate client projects, combining not only Juices, but Aromas, Sweeteners, Flavours, Colours, Vitamins and Minerals, to create new and innovative products.

Whether matching existing product specifications or working to develop new ones, we have the expertise and access to raw materials needed to respond with confidence. We will work as fast as our clients need us to and have been known to move from a ‘blue sky’ idea to full scale production in as little as three weeks.

We can:

• Advise on selection of Juices and Additives.
• Create test Blends in laboratory conditions.
• Define, test and authenticate production processes.

In constant pursuit of innovation we have:

• Developed a Vitamin enriched Isotonic Energy Drink with high Fruit Juice content.
• Been at the forefront of developing ‘not from concentrate’ blended Juices, especially the highly popular Tropical Blends.
• Experimented exhaustively to create stable Juices, especially Pineapple, to combat the problem of separation.
• Been among the first to blend Fruit Juices with spices and herbal, ‘health enhancing’ additives.
• Explored new superfruits such as Acai, Goji Berry, Pomegranate and propose them in Fruit Blends.

FDL Consistent Quality Supply We source Juices, Pulps and Concentrates from every fruit producing area on every continent and have the experience to advise on the best use of raw materials for any requirement. Through this combination of experience and global reach, we free our clients from the worry and risk so often associated with maintaining a consistent year-round supply of top quality Juices. For many customers, we act as a virtual purchasing department, managing every aspect of the supply chain, from raw material selection, through quality and authenticity testing, to logistics management and on-time delivery.

We have the understanding of the market, the expertise on where to source our raw materials and a strong development team that can provide customised solutions. Teresita Ruda
