ABOUT RETREEVA GLOBAL
Protecting productintegrity, worldwide.
We design and manufacture metal and x-ray detectable pens and detectable stationery, trusted by food and pharmaceutical manufacturers across the globe. Available worldwide through our ever-growing network of distribution partners, our products are in use across some of the world’s most demanding production environments.
OUR STORY
Built from the ground up
Since 1999, we worked to raise awareness of the need to protect product integrity through metal detection, successfully introducing metal detectable pens to thousands of customers in the food and beverage industry.
In the early years we relied on external manufacturers, but it became increasingly difficult to uphold the standards our customers deserved. Deteriorating quality and repeated supply crises pushed us to a decision.
By 2012 we decided to act. We invested in our own mould tools, partnered with one of Europe’s leading tool makers, and took direct ownership of the product. The result was the Retreeva metal and x-ray detectable pen, launched worldwide under the Retreeva Global brand. It was a bet on quality over convenience, and it is one we have never regretted.
Today, with over 50 distributors across more than 40 countries, Retreeva continues to be at the leading edge of food safety and product design, bringing new products to market and growing our global reach year on year.
