Fructal is a Slovenian company manufacturing juices and candy bars. It was established on 5 October 1945.[1][2] In the early 1970s, it was the largest fruit juice manufacturer in Yugoslavia.[3] Since 2012, it has been almost in entirety owned by the Serbian Nectar company.[4][5] It manufactures a number of brands (e.g. Frutabela fruit-cereal snack bar, Frutek fruit puree, Fruc Juice, Ledeni čaj iced Tea, Slovenian vodka, et cetera.).[6][7] In early 2010s, Fructal generated 30% of its revenue from exports, mostly to Italy. Fructal's products are widely regarded to be high-quality.[7][8][9]
