Our History

Quicornac was founded in 1989 as an initiative by a group of Swiss-Ecuadorian entrepreneurs who recognized the enormous potential of passion fruit. What began as a small fruit processing plant in Vinces, Los Ríos, Ecuador, has grown into a global company. Since then, thanks to visionary leadership and the dedication of our people, the Quicornac family has grown, innovated, and adapted to the demands of the markets across the seven continents where we operate. Our commitment to sustainable practices, consistency, competitiveness, and high quality are the pillars that guide us 365 days a year.Today, with over 700 direct employees and thousands more indirectly, we promote diversity and inclusion throughout our entire production chain.

Who We Are

With 35 years of experience in the market, we are a leading company in the production, commercialization, and export of fruit juices, pulps, purées, and concentrates. Our commitment spans both the national and international markets, bringing the richness and flavor of our fruits to customers around the world. Over these three and a half decades, we have perfected our techniques and processes, ensuring the highest quality products that meet the most demanding global standards. Our track record positions us as a benchmark in the industry, with a constant focus on innovation and sustainability.

Close to the Port, Close to Our Farmers

Strategically located in key agricultural hubs and near major seaports, we maintain a close connection with our farmers and suppliers, allowing us to optimize every stage of our supply chain.

In addition to actively promoting passion fruit cultivation in various productive regions, we are dedicated to fostering a financial and productive awareness culture among small farmers.

By encouraging a steady source of additional income, we help prevent rural-to-urban migration, contributing to the sustainable development of rural communities.
