the company
Very few things simply fall from the sky. Anyone who wants a particularly good product has to do something. That’s why there’s a proper company behind the 2000′ vision of bringing coconut juice to Europe. But it contains people who have their feet firmly on the ground …
green coco europe GmbH
If you drink Dr Antonio Martins coco, sooner or later you will come across a company: green coco europe GmbH. That is simply the company that Dr. Antonio Martins founded, together with friends and experienced specialists from the beverage industry, in order to bring coco to people like you all over the world.
green coco europe is anything but a major company or one of those corporations that lack transparency and not at the other end of the world. Or one of those where you don’t know to whom it actually belongs. green coco europe is located centrally in the beautiful old town of Nuremberg in the Koenigstrasse and we work exactly how Dr Antonio Martins envisaged when he had the idea for coconut water – sustainably and in small structures.
A small team of 7 employees, under the experienced leadership of Stefan Reiß, puts much blood, sweat and tears into bringing liquid coconut products from the country of harvest to Europe.
For many years green coco has been proud member of the IFU (International Fruit and Vegetable Juice Association), the VdF (German Fruit Juice Industry Association) as well as SGF/IRMA (the self control body of the European Fruit Juice Industry).
green coco is an open company. If you have any questions, or maybe even want to work with us to make coconut water even more successful, feel free to contact us any time.
