The company was first established in 1961 and its origins are connected to an old traditional family business passed down from one generation to the next in the Nava family. The Navas have long been involved in the commercialisation of essential oils of orange, lemon, mandarin and bergamot. Founder Domenico Nava foresaw the evolution that the citrus fruit product market would undergo, so he went from commercialising to directly producing juices and essential oils, creating the first industry dedicated to the transformation of citrus fruits. Up until then, his company produced natural juices; a concentration system was subsequently installed. This represented a turning point of rapid commercial development, meaning that the company grew significantly in the 70s. In the mid-80s, sons Diego and Bruno, who had already long been at the helm of the family business, completed restructured the original factory, equipping it with more modern systems for the processing of citrus fruits. In 1990, the new factory was built. Today it represents the company headquarters and is equipped with better technology for processing natural citrus juices to make concentrated juices. Nava has always stayed on top of the new technologies in terms of production and packaging. The company has entered its third generation and strives to constantly improve its own products, as their quality is a key feature of the company strategy. The high production standard is the natural result of the combination of the extensive experience of its founders and stems from a lengthy family tradition and the use of state-of-the-art production techniques.
