GEURTS

Our family-run company was founded in 1888 by Arie Geurts. At that time, Geurts supplied fruit and related products to private customers and fruit processing companies in the area. However, demand for jam and other fruit products became so great that the Geurts family decided to start processing fruit themselves. The family-run company developed into a large factory in Dodewaard. All kinds of fruit and vegetable products were canned here until well into the 20th century... At the end of the Forties, Geurts employed 120 members of staff. Fruit processing was still a very labour intensive industry at that time. A little jar of jam cost 13 ½ cents back then. Developments have occurred rapidly since then. Geurts always evolved with the times and was therefore able to survive tough times too... At present, Geurts focuses predominantly on the tastiest and most popular fruit product: jam. We primarily supply our jam under private label: the client's brand. You come across our jam everywhere..
