About Ecoterra
Since 2005, Eco Terra GmbH has been producing high-quality foods and dry-range ingredients in Eppstein in the Taunus region. The specialty is specification-compliant delivery of natural ingredients for further processing in the chocolate, ice cream and baking industries as well as private label production through to the retail-ready product – from development through sourcing and production to packaging. On 2,500 m² of IFS-certified peanut-free production and storage space, 85 employees work at 14 production lines. The product range includes mueslis, bars, nut products, dried fruit mixes as well as ingredients, packaged in glass, pouches, reusable deposit jars or via unpackaged dispensing stations. Strategic sourcing through direct supplier relationships with the countries of origin enables flexibility and product availability; every delivery is traceable batch-by-batch back to cultivation. Germany and the rest of Europe are supplied daily – with pallets and semi-trailers for industry, parcels for supermarkets and individual packages via the e-commerce shop.
