Our story
From Wild Harvest to Industrial Production
Our origins trace back to 1990 and the procurement of Nordic wild berries. Over the decades we have built strong expertise in berry processing, cold storage, sorting technologies and industrial-scale production.
In 2015, production and operations moved from Saarek AS to Saarek Productions AS, sharpening the focus on industrial manufacturing.
Today we build on that experience as a specialist in high-quality fruit and berry preparations for the food industry.
