In a relatively short time we are proud to have become one of Europe's leading processed fruit suppliers. Despite our growth and prominence in the industry, there's one thing about Cobell that hasn't changed.

We still believe in supplying clients with a totally tailor-made service, providing their chosen fruit ingredients in any packaging, in any quantity.

Our experienced multi-lingual team sources ingredients directly from suppliers all over the world, ensuring our customers the ultimate in quality fruit and raw materials. Plus, with such a vast range of customers from soft drinks manufacturers to pharmaceutical suppliers, our team's expertise ensures adherence to stringent supplier quality guidelines.

While we source high end fruit ingredients, our own packaging, storage and supply chain is also regularly monitored. Our in-house expertise means that we have staff dedicated to accreditations including BRC, Soil Association, Taste of the West, FairTrade, RainForrest Alliance and many more, providing a guaranteed quality route from product sourcing to delivery.

We've also adapted our facilities in line with our expanding business and dedicated teams. We now have sales, storage and packaging at our Exeter headquarters and our Bishops Stortford sales office, as well as our recently opened aseptic bag-in-box packaging facility.

So, whatever your fruit ingredient, whatever the quantity and, wherever you are, give us a call - I'm sure our team of experts can help.
