Infruit is a supplier of premium-quality fruit and vegetable ingredients, sourced globally and from New Zealand, supplied to specification to support consistent production, scalable volumes, and dependable supply.
Rod Meachen, who set up Infruit in 2013, has over 30 years in the industry and offers a wealth of knowledge and understanding from the field through to the finished product. Over the years, Meachen has developed strong relationships with growers, processors, suppliers, and customers worldwide.
Supporting this is a highly experienced, close-knit team. While small, the Infruit team combines expertise across supply chain, finance, sales and marketing, quality assurance, and food technology. This breadth of capability enables agile decision-making, strong partnerships, and a hands-on approach to maintaining quality and continuity of supply.
“Ensuring product quality and integrity across international suppliers requires a proactive, hands-on approach. At Infruit, we prioritise working with processors who operate to recognised global food safety and quality standards, and we don’t rely solely on certificates or paperwork,” said Meachen.
“We conduct regular site visits to our processing partners, inspecting production practices, traceability systems, and quality controls firsthand. This allows us to identify potential risks early and ensure that procedures align with both regulatory requirements and our own high standards.”
