Our Story
Western Cape Fruit Processors (WCFP), nestled in the heart of the fertile Elgin Valley, is a leading producer of premium quality clear fruit juice concentrates. We are known for our dedication to crafting the purest and most flavourful fruit essences, using only the finest apples and pears grown in our bountiful region.
We are a company deeply rooted in the Western Cape community, where we have played a vital role in supporting the local agricultural economy for generations. Our commitment to sourcing the best local produce not only ensures that our concentrates are bursting with flavour and nutritional goodness but also provides valuable employment opportunities and contributes to the overall growth and development of the fruit industry in our province.
At WCFP, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing, ensuring that our practices are both environmentally friendly and socially responsible. We believe in nurturing the land and the people who make our business possible, ensuring a bright and fruitful future for generations to come.
Our History
Our journey began with the merger of two esteemed fruit processing companies, Elgin Fruit Juices and Associated Fruit Processors. Both companies had established themselves as leaders in the industry, each with a long-standing history and deep-rooted expertise in the art of fruit processing.
The merger of these two giants in 2023 allowed us to combine over 60 years of collective experience, knowledge, and cutting-edge facilities. This synergy has empowered us to serve our stakeholders with renewed passion and vigour, continuously improving our operational efficiencies and delivering exceptional products and services.
Today, WCFP stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to excellence. We are proud to carry on the legacy of our founding companies, upholding their values while embracing new technologies and sustainable practices to ensure we remain at the forefront of the fruit processing industry.
