About Ardo
The earth provides an abundance of precious nutrients, which is why we are constantly looking at ways to protect and preserve these opportunities for future generations.
We preserve nature’s gifts
People need vegetables and fruit.
We are committed to meeting the growing demand for nutritious, plant based food. Both now and in the future.
We believe in preserving nature’s gifts for future generations by providing fresh frozen, plant-based foods while minimizing our impact on the planet.
This is our purpose.
Our green ambition
We are passionate about People, our Planet and our Products, and we are inspired to maintain all three elements in an optimal state of balance …
Ardo is proactive in exploring and introducing more sustainable agricultural production methods. We have translated our ambitions into our MIMOSA+ programme, which stands for Minimum Impact, Maximum Output, Sustainable Agriculture.
Our values
To realise our ambitions, we have embedded four fundamental Ardo values into our daily practices. These values serve as our guiding light towards a sustainable future. As the frontrunner in our industry, we are committed to feeding the future, paving the way for a sustainable journey that others can embrace. This commitment forms the basis of our purpose.
We are committed to our customers
Based on our diverse product portfolio, we strive to provide our customers with solutions that best meet their requirements.
We are passionate
We believe in the products we make and the values that our company represents. We approach our work with energy and enthusiasm, striving to ensure Ardo’s long-term viability.
We have a sense of ownership
We work with responsibility and pride, always looking for opportunities and improvements that will benefit Ardo. In our collaborative model, we support our colleagues across the group by working together as one team. We all keep the same goal in mind: to make Ardo succeed, now and in the future.

Ardo in numbers
Export to more than
16 production, packing & distribution sites in 7 countries
Ardo’s production, packing & distribution sites are located from north to south and from east to west in Europe’s most fertile crop growing regions. The close proximity of our factories to our crops is one of our key strengths and ensures that only minutes are lost between harvest and locking in the product’s natural goodness in our freezers.
Local worldwide approach
Ardo is an internationally expanding family business with expertise in fresh-frozen vegetables, herbs and fruit.
We choose to be close to our customers. With sales offices in Europe, the Americas and beyond, there’s always someone from our sales team close to hand.
Our ‘glocal’ approach means we can react more efficiently and anticipate our customers’ quickly-developing needs and wants. We keep our finger on the pulse in all markets.
Quality is the cornerstone of our corporate strategy
We produce frozen vegetables that are grown with the maximum respect for nature and the environment. Therefore we work pro-actively towards more sustainable agricultural production methods, whilst at the same time remaining commercially competitive. We strive to minimize the impact of our growing and processing activities on the environment, and we ensure at the same time the personal safety and life quality of our farmers and employees.
This approach is summarized in our MIMOSA+ programme, Minimum Impact with Maximum Output Sustainable Agriculture.

Production
Production
Our aim is to deliver our ingredients in the same state that Mother Nature intended: fresh, nutritious and picked at peak ripeness in the crop’s natural season.
Applying integrated crop management and production techniques, and focusing on quality assurance and high aesthetic standards, we control the product from seed to customer.
We installed in our factories new state-of-the-art packing lines with recent technology for metal detection, colour, shape and density sorting.
Highest standard
We employ more than 60 agronomists and 148 technicians who work 24/7 to ensure that our products arrive at your site in specification and to the highest quality standard.
Our agricultural departments look after crops so they can be supplied to our processing sites. There, our quality team checks the materials, production processes, product selection and packaging. Our quality managers play an active role at all production stages. They accompany our agronomists on field visits and are trained in our factories’ production processes. Their efforts help build customers’ confidence while adding value to our reputation through delivering the necessary quality that we are renowned for.
We aim to create products that meet the highest safety and quality standards. Our production sites are certified in accordance with internationally recognised standards (BRC/IFS), and also comply with strict food safety and HACCP standards.
