Dole

The taste of the sun

The Dole story begins in 1901, when James Drummond Dole – a Harvard graduate in economics and horticulture – founded his first pineapple plantation in Hawaii. With the aim of preserving the freshness and natural taste of the fruit, he quickly developed an innovative preservation process. This laid the foundation for a company that continues to delight customers today with aromatic, sun-ripened pineapple products in slices or chunks – all year round.

“We have built this company on quality, quality and quality.”
– James Drummond Dole

James Dole’s vision still shapes the company today: Dole stands for healthy, high-quality and competitively priced products. Through innovation, fast market reactions and a strong team, Dole relies on modern, sustainable production methods – always with a clear focus on quality and responsibility.

Corporate social responsibility is a key concern for Dole. This is reflected, among other things, in comprehensive programs for health care, education and fair working conditions in the growing regions. The Dole production site in the Philippines, which has been a member of the Rainforest Alliance since June 2013 – a global non-profit organization that promotes environmental protection, human rights and sustainable agriculture – is particularly noteworthy.

As a visible sign of this commitment, Dole’s premium product, the Tropical Gold Pineapple, proudly bears the Rainforest Alliance seal. Dole has been marketing the particularly sweet and golden yellow “Gold Pineapple” in can form under this brand since 2007 – a real highlight in the canned fruit segment.

Dole Packaged Foods is now a global leader in the field of preserved fruit products and healthy convenience solutions.
