In the mid-1980s the founder of the company, my father, Dan Pedersen, established Citrus Services (NZ) Ltd. Dan was well-known in the industry, particularly for his technically-astute knowledge and his understanding of the customer’s business.

The philosophy then is as inherent today: to strive for excellence, achieving commercially and technically outstanding success for our customers.

In 1987 a business unit, Enzyme Services, was formed, offering products and services for use in industrial enzyme applications. In 2000 we amalgamated these two businesses into Zymus International Ltd.

Our customers are primarily leaders in the food and beverage
industry. We work with brewers, winemakers and beverage
manufacturers formulating alcoholic, non-alcoholic, health and wellness finished product concepts, supplying key food ingredients, and processing aids such as Velcorin for cold sterilisation, and industrial enzymes for enhancing downstream processing.
