About Wolfra
Wolfra Bayrische Natursaft Kelterei GmbH has been producing fruit beverages since 1930. The product range includes fruit juices, direct juices, nectars, spritzers, lemonades, iced teas and seasonal specialities such as punch and mulled products. Wherever possible, the fruit is sourced from regional fruit growers in the area around Erding and in the Rottal; processing is gentle and follows the purist principle, without colourings, preservatives or artificial flavourings, in reusable glass bottles. Filling is predominantly into reusable glass bottles from 0.2 to 1 litre (standard and custom bottles); PET and beverage cartons can be realised via the Valensina Group. In addition to its own brand, Wolfra offers co-packing and contract bottling, including complete beverage production, product development and logistics planning for third-party brands. According to the website, the company pressed around 3,000 tonnes of apples into 2.3 million litres of apple juice in 2018 and offers more than 50 juice varieties. The site is located in Erding in Bavaria on a 45,000 m² company premises.
