ISM 2020: Fruitfunk – fun and responsible snacking

Rob de Weert and Daan Schapendonk founded in 2014 the company Fruitfunk B.V. They started to produce ”the most fun and responsible snacks for kids”.
According to their own statement, the company brings the wishes and ­desires from both children and parents together by creating fun and responsible snack concepts. ”We focus on selling our products to the inter­national multiples and guarantee ­retail ready shelf solution, a commercial approach and continuous inno­vation,” says Schapendonk. Fruitfunk uses a process where moisture is removed from the fruit very quickly, keeping the fibers, minerals and vitamins intact.

To be attractive to a broad target group, the company signed a partnership with Universal, Dreamworks and Nickelodeon. With this partnership, Fruitfunk produces fruit snacks and snacks under the licensing brands of Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, Shimmer & Shine, and ­Unicorn. The products are already present in Dutch ­supermarket chains as well as in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, UK, Dubai and ­Kuwait. The exhibition at the ISM in ­Cologne should now further promote the international expansion.
