The company history of efko is shaped by people who showed foresight. In their courage to make trend-setting decisions for the future, there is a great responsibility for all who follow them.
From the very beginning, efko has developed into the largest producer of pickled vegetables in Austria. Our group operates subsidiaries in Austria and abroad. We are convinced of the founding idea of efko, to provide people with the best fruit and vegetables. It is our task to carry this idea forward - adapted to the requirements of the next decade.
