Riverbend, originating from the Region of Murcia, embodies a piece of American heritage in Spain. Established in 1988 as a subsidiary of a California corporation, Riverbend Spain was the first industry in Santomera, Murcia, dedicated to processing lemon essential oil.
"With over 30 years of experience in the market, Riverbend aims to continue consolidating and increasing its lemon processing share by approximately 20% annually. This season, we expect to harvest a similar volume of lemons as last year, indicating a positive growth trend for this product."

"Since 2016, Riverbend has made a significant economic effort to align its quality standards with the highest international benchmarks. As a result, we are recognized worldwide for our excellent products and for providing close, personalized service, which helps us maintain consistent and trustworthy relationships with our customers. As part of our strategic growth plan, we aim to expand our presence in the American market, replicating the success we previously achieved in Asia." That's why, in just a few weeks, Riverbend will showcase its offerings at the International Citrus & Beverage Conference (ICBC), the leading annual event for the global citrus and beverage sector, which will be held in Florida, United States.
"We know Spanish lemons face tough competition from Argentina, but our partnerships with European and global companies, along with the strong 'Limón de España' brand, will help us succeed in the North American market."

Riverbend has established itself as a top organic lemon processing company in Europe. The company's dedication to sustainability is evident through its sourcing practices, the use of renewable energy at Santomera, and its international sustainability certifications.
"At Riverbend, we highlight our strong focus on certifications and sustainability. We have a Sustainability Committee and a Quality Department fully dedicated to advancing circular economy initiatives. Our approach ensures that every investment meets production and energy efficiency standards, complies with current environmental laws, adheres to high international certification standards, and enhances our role as a socially responsible company."
"Riverbend's commitment is to continue pursuing certifications that boost our high efficiency and quality standards, reinforcing our position as one of Europe's leading citrus fruit extraction and processing companies."

"Our strategy in the organic sector has been clear since 2020: we are now a leading processor of organic lemons in Europe, and we intend to continue growing in this segment through strategic alliances and a global customer base."
"The Zero Waste certification represents a major milestone for Riverbend, reaffirming our strong environmental commitment. It confirms our efficient production processes, ensuring that we recycle or reuse at least 95% of our industrial waste."
"Awarded by AENOR last year, this certification highlights the company's sustainability principles, strengthens our dedication to society and the environment, and positions Riverbend as a sector leader."
ICBC: Schedule your meeting
"We will be at ICBC from September 23 to 26, with Suite 428 at the Sheraton Clearwater Beach Hotel designated as a meeting space to welcome you during our visit."
"We also look forward to meeting you at upcoming international trade shows like Gulfood Dubai and Biofach Nuremberg 2026."
