Cedenco Foods New Zealand is a finalist in the best large business category at the New Zealand International Business Awards to be held in Auckland next week.
This follows its win at the Hawke’s Bay Export Awards in August.
Established in Gisborne in 1986, Cedenco is adding value to topquality fruit and vegetables.
The company manufactures powders, pastes, purees and IQF (individually quick frozen) products from locally grown crops.
Its main markets are predominantly in Asia and the company also exports products to Australia and the European Union.
Cedenco’s vision is to be a world-class food ingredient company. Its production facilities are certified under FSSC22000, globally acknowledged as the highest standard in food safety. This food safety system guarantees complete product traceability throughout the production process — from raw material to the finished product.
The business is committed to improving its social and environmental practices, and is working with overseas corporations to gain a sustainable agriculture status.
With 80 permanent and 400 seasonal staff, the company plays an integral role in the East Coast community and economy.
