These simple assumptions provided the foundation for the creation and growth of an innovative company that employs cutting-edge packaging systems, such as the SMI ASW 50 F ERGON automatic shrink wrapper for the packaging of different kinds of 15.2 oz and 2 oz PET bottles in film only.
The benefits of fruit extracts
Fruit and vegetables are a real concentrate of health; extremely rich in vitamins and minerals, these foods are the fuel for the human body, readily available and easy to digest.
Arden’s Garden company produces a wide range of cold-pressed juices, a system that does not use heat, oxygen or other pasteurization methods, thus preserving the healthy and curative properties of fruit and vegetables. The American company also produces other delicacies rich in nutrients, such as raw vegan snacks, made with nuts, rolled oats, kale, cashews, almonds, peanut butter and chocolate.
