We cultivate 100% natural fruit, which conserves all its properties, an intense taste, and fresh and intact aromas.
We produce natural and concentrated juices, pulps, and essential oils, and transform fruit peels into a wide variety of products for the food industry.
Every step of the production process, from cultivation to final packaging, is regulated by our quality system, certified under the most demanding standards.
At Tana, the land is our way of living since our early beginnings, and we know how important it is to respect it. We practice organic agriculture and apply that philosophy to all our procedures and business values.
Managed by the third generation, Tana has grown since 1955 knowing all stages of the production process, and has transmitted its passion for our product, making it an inspiration to all our staff.
The rigorous honesty of our product guarantees our business, not only with large distribution chains across Europe, but also the brand boost and recognition in new markets such as North America and Middle East.
We are always looking for healthy and innovative products and ways of working that may redefine the market and bring a more ecological value to the world.

Handling and packaging plants
Tana currently has two fresh citrus handling and packaging plants strategically located in Murcia and Málaga, which are the two main production centres of lemon and grapefruit in Spain.
With more than 10,500 m² of working area, the Murcia warehouse is equipped with two independent production lines that facilitate the control of traces and post-harvest treatment of the final product.
Using the latest technology, both lines are equipped with automatic dumping and palletising systems, washers, drying tunnels, post-harvest applicator and electronic sizers that classify the products based on their quality. The final packaging format may vary meeting the customer demand: embedded, bulk, flow pack, and heavy mesh (Epack, Girsacs, Girplus and Wine Glass Label).
The Málaga warehouse is under renovation, and at present is split into two separate buildings: the first of 5,000 m², for conventional product, equipped with two complete lines and independent gauges; and the second of 1,000 m², for organic fruit (BIO), also equipped with an electronic gauge and various formats of embedded and mesh by the customer's demand.
Industry plant
The industry plant located in Murcia has 9,000 m² for juices, peels, and several independent sections of storage rooms.
The natural juice extraction, as well as the production of concentrates in different graduations and essential oils and pulps is carried out in the juices and oils plant. Capable of processing 30 tons of fruit per hour, this plant has a network of industrial robots for viewing and automatically controlling all processes and final quality. The final product is packed according to the clients' requirements, soon offering the aseptic packaging option.
The barks plant is equipped with specific machinery for the production of different products from the citrus peels for the ice cream, desserts and cocktails industry. In addition, the quality of the product is improved with Individual Quick Freezing technology.
The products include empty shells of different sizes, strips, zest, cubes, and slices.
