Cherry stone drying company

We specialise in the collection and processing of cherry stones – also known as cherry pits – that make an environmentally friendly filling for cuddly toys and heating pads.

From waste to raw material 

At Pitcompany Coremans, we transform cherry stones from waste products into valuable raw materials. Canning factories in the Netherlands and Belgium produce large quantities of cherry stones as a by-product of their production process. These stones are generally seen as waste products and disposed of, but we can see a unique opportunity here. And by putting it into practice, we contribute to sustainability and the reuse of natural materials, giving cherry stones a new and valuable life.

STEP 1: WASTE

Canning factories often regard cherry stones as a waste product. We collect these stones from all the canning factories in the Netherlands and Belgium and give them a second life.

STEP 2: WASHING

Pitcompany carefully washes the cherry stones we collect. This process removes all remnants of fruit pulp and other contaminants, which is essential to make the stones suitable for further processing.

STEP 3: DRYING

After washing, the cherry stones undergo a unique drying process we have developed ourselves. This ensures that the stones retain their natural properties, making them ideal for various applications in both the creative sector and the wellness industry.

ABOUT US

Pitcompany Coremans

Pitcompany Coremans specialises in the collection and processing of cherry stones – also known as cherry pits – that are seen as a waste product by canning factories. Through a unique cleaning and drying process, these stones are turned into valuable raw materials for the creative and wellness sectors. Our cherry stones are used as environmentally friendly filling for such things as cuddly toys and heating pads. The cherry stones can also be used to make cold compresses by placing them in the freezer.

Pitcompany Coremans was founded as the result of a chance encounter. Cees Coremans, who was involved in the drying of flower bulbs, was asked by a canning factory whether he could do anything with their cherry stone waste. 

There were strong similarities between drying flower bulbs and drying cherry stones, and Cees saw a unique opportunity with this. He decided to take on the challenge and develop an innovative approach with which he could transform a waste product into a valuable raw material.

This vision and commitment have made Pitcompany Coremans a forerunner among companies that believe in the value of sustainability and the creative reuse of natural materials. We contribute to an environmentally friendly future by giving cherry stones a second life in the form of raw materials for useful and beloved products.
