The company Olle Svenssons was established in 1945,
with its core business in the berry industry and with its heart in Scandinavia. Since the beginning there has been a steady economic growth and through inventive developments and acquisitions, the company is today market leader in many segments and supply most berries from several countries.

Through the use of advanced technology, large storage capacity and the highest certification standards, we have removed wild berries from the list of seasonal products. We offer first class IQF berries all year round, wild and cultivated, conventional and organic. Origin and full traceability is always presented.

The knowledge and awareness of healthy berries has been part of the Nordic ”pharmacy” for hundreds of years. Our geographic position in the very north has contributed with very unique characteristics. More studies are being done as well as new areas of use, which is leading to an increased demand, both for the food- and beverage industry but foremost for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetics industry.

Our carefully selected berries have different use and unique benefits like our bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) that are the richest in anthocyanins if compared with cultivated blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) The bilberries, are very rich in color pigments and therefor used more frequently in foodstuff as natural colors and in health supplements after extracting specific compounds.

It is known that berries are great source of vitamins, minerals and polyphenols such as anthocyanins, and they help us build up immunity and resist aggressive influence of the urban environment. It is however crucial that the handling of the berries is done in the best way possible to maintain the original benefits. That means the most careful picking, immediate freezing, with a maintained frozen chain until production for cleaning and then sorted by color, quality and form with the help of laser, optic and infrared cameras. All focus is to maintain the berries unique characteristics preserving the nutritional values, its natural taste and colors.

Olle Svenssons has a long history of purchases and production of wild berries, in fact, since the early 1950s. Today we purchase prime berries in large regions together with our longterm berry suppliers and trading partners.
 
Olle Svenssons always prioritize a fully controlled supply chain and the responsibility towards the environment, berry pickers, logistics, production and our customers.
