The GoGo squeeZ Story
A long history of fruit
As the inventor of fruit snacks, Materne has been a leading fruit specialist for more than 130 years. The first fruit snack pouch was developed in France in 1998 and marketed under the name Pom’Potes. The company’s small pouches revolutionized the prepared fruit market with a product that’s 100% pure pleasure and all fruit!
