About APECX
APECX SWISS AG, headquartered in Bischofszell, Switzerland, manufactures pectins from apple pomace and citrus fruit peels and distributes them worldwide under the OBIPEKTIN brand. In the tradition of Swiss pectin manufacturing, which dates back to 1937, the company produces the full spectrum of pectin types on two separate production lines: High Methoxyl (HM), Low Methoxyl (LM) and amidated Low Methoxyl (LMA). The products texture and stabilize foods and beverages while also serving as a source of dietary fiber. Typical applications include dairy products and dairy alternatives, gelatin-free confectionery, jams, fruit spreads and fruit preparations. A team of food technologists supports customers with formulation-related questions in well-equipped application laboratories. Production is FSSC 22000 certified; the products are Halal- and Kosher-compliant as well as suitable for vegetarian and vegan recipes.
