IQF stands for “Individually Quick Freezing”. In this process, products are individually and gently frozen immediately after harvest, helping to preserve quality, taste, texture and valuable nutrients.

Our products are always stored between at least -18°C and -24°C in a continuous cooling chain.

Depending on their location, our products are delivered to us in modern cooling trailers (mainland Europe) on the road or sealed cooling containers (Asia, Americas) by sea.

We guarantee a shelf life of 24 months from the date of production for our fruit, vegetables, mushrooms, and herbs.

Rapid freezing immediately after harvest helps preserve vitamins, minerals and product characteristics in the best possible way while reducing long transport and storage times typical of fresh produce.

IFS certification confirms compliance with internationally recognized standards for quality, product safety and operational processes. Alfred Zindel AG has been IFS-certified since 2007.

Frozen products offer high product availability, consistent quality, flexible storage and demand-oriented processing – ideal for industry and wholesale customers.

Through modern logistics processes and the use of HVO100 in our fleet, we reduce the CO₂ emissions of our transports and focus on future-oriented solutions.
