About indupro

Founded in 1976 by John van Iperen (my late father), indupro has been a key man-in-the-middle operation in the world of food and beverage ingredients.

First as a trader/broker, later purely as a broker, the company has seen — and contributed to — the expansion of the citrus, juice and beverage industry.
