The initial entry of Carl in citrus production was the purchase of the first farms and packinghouses in Limeira and Bebedouro, cities located in the State of São Paulo.  
 
In 1963, there was the union of Pasco Packing Company (a large juice processor in Florida), Eckes (an importer established in Germany) and Carl Fischer (a man with great experience in citrus culture who owned groves and a packinghouse). Together they invested in the construction of the first Fischer Group’s processing plant to produce concentrate orange juice and byproducts, located in the city of Matão – SP and called Citrosuco Paulista. In 1969, Fischer Group acquired Pasco’s shares and in 1992 took full control of Citrosuco by acquiring Eckes’ shares in the business. 

In 1976, Citrosuco Paulista acquired a second plant in the city of Limeira. At the same time, it continued with successful investments in farms for the production of citrus.

In 1982, through its Citrosuco Division, the Fischer Group started a new stage in the Brazilian history of transportation and storage. It became one of the pioneers in the construction of an integrated system for bulk transportation for concentrate juice composed of tank farms for storage, export terminal in Santos, special vessels and terminal for the product distribution in Europe. This significantly increased the efficiency of logistical distribution of product to worldwide markets.

In 1997, with the acquisition of a modern juice processing plant located in Lake Wales, Florida, Citrosuco North America was established.

In 2004 one more processing unit was acquired in Bebedouro, state of São Paulo, and in 2006 a small processing unit was built in Videira, state of Santa Catarina strengthening the leadership in the segment.

In addition to the plants in Matão, Bebedouro, Limeira and Videira, in Brazil, and Lake Wales, in Florida, Citrosuco also counts on a modern export terminal in the port of Santos, and with receiving and distribution terminals in Ghent – Belgium, Willmington - USA and Toyohashi - Japan.

Thus, Citrosuco Division is ready for the globalization challenges and always loyal to the principles of trust, frankness and friendship as the basis for its internal and external relations.
