As of October 2011, Stephen Wilkinson is Director of Sales at Ybbstaler Fruit Austria.

In this position Mr Wilkinson will be responsible for brewing accounts on a world-wide basis.

Ybbstaler Fruit is a leading quality producer of fruit juice concentrates, fruit bases and beverage compounds. The company was founded in 1936 as „Ybbstaler Obstverwertung“ and initially produced spirits, cider and distributed fresh fruit from the region.

In the late 1950s, production of high-quality fruit juice concentrates for the international beverages industry began. In order to be able to meet rising demand, Ybbstaler procurement centres were founded in Romania and Hungary in 1995.

Following the aquisition of the highly modern production site in Biala Rawsa, (approx. 50 km from Warsaw), Poland in 2009, Ybbstaler now has three production sites there.
