About us

A family producer, in its second decade

Nutritive Cells is a family-owned producer and exporter, working from our own line in Slovenia.

We make what we sell

Our founder, Kristian Lesar, left a career in investment banking in Frankfurt to return to Croatia and to fruit production, and has been in the organic juice business for more than ten years.

In addition to shots, we have a wide range of products including our brand products and private labels for juices, shots, smoothies, fruit syrups and nectars.

That matters commercially for one reason. When you ask for a recipe change, a different format or a faster run, you are talking to the people who operate the line — not to an agent who has to place your question somewhere else and come back next week.

What we are not

We are not a trading house and not a broker. Every bottle we quote is filled on our own line, which is also why the minimum order is one pallet rather than a container: we can afford to let a buyer test a market at that size because we control the run.
