Procesadora Campofresco, Inc., the most modern and versatile  fruit juice & beverage manufacturing facility in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean region, was founded in 1982, by its current top management, with the introduction of Caribik Sun, the company’s innovative line of tropical fruit beverages.

Offering products previously unavailable to the consumers, like passion fruit, guava, tamarind and guanábana (soursop), Campofresco grew steadily over 10 years of success after which the company moved its operations to its custom–built current strategic location in the city of Santa Isabel, in the south coast of Puerto Rico.

Campofresco’s manufacturing plant is strategically located 15 minutes away from the port-town of Ponce (the most important city in the southern region of Puerto Rico where presently super–port Las Americas is being built) and 45 minutes away from San Juan (the island’s capital).

The facilities, located right by the Luis A. Ferré expressway, are built on an 80-acre lot that sits on top of one of the Caribbean's largest underground reservoirs of high-quality water. This water, ultimately used in Campofresco’s manufacturing processes, is actually rain water that is naturally filtered as it drains south from the central mountain ridge through the area’s limestone-heavy soil.

Campofresco has gradually incorporated these technologies in its consumer products to address the market in four different business approaches:

1. Proprietary owned brands, like Lotus® (in use since 1892), Caribe® (since 1950) and Caribik Sun® (since 1982), among others.

2. Strategic alliances with international companies for which Campofresco produces under contract packing agreements, such as PepsiCo (owner of the brands Gatorade®, Tropicana®, Lipton® and SoBe®), Tampico®, among others.

3. Supermarket private labels for which Campofresco manufactures products, such as Wal-Mart, Econo, Grande, Pueblo, Mr. Special and other supermarkets chains of the area.

4. Government sales for programs like W.I.C. (Women Infants & Children) and the School Lunch Program, both funded by the U.S. Federal government.

Employing nearly 200 workers in a positive, union-free environment, Campofresco offers its employees retirement plans, medical insurance, trimester incentives and technical trainings and workshops in addition to amenities such as two in-plant cafeterias and recreational / sports activities. Many of Campofresco’s employees have worked for the company for more than 10 years and come from rural areas nearby.

Campofresco celebrates its 26th Anniversary in 2008 through the grand diversity of its juice products and brands known for their high quality and innovation. The future presents itself offering continued opportunities and growth through increased utilization of existing production lines.

Campofresco’s employee's dedication to quality manufacturing, in addition to its capabilities and strong brand names, are the keys to its success in an industry ever more thirsty for juices and fruit beverages with health connotations in line with new lifestyle trends: Campofresco will be there to quickly satisfy existing and new markets and preferences of its customers and consumers.
