Global Capabilities

Our company headquarters, main warehouse and manufacturing operation are located within a 155,000 sq. ft. facility in Bloomfield, NJ. Berje has also established satellite warehousing in the Midwest and los Angeles. These locations are to support our customers' needs and shorten delivery time. As an international company nearly 40% of Berje's business is export, with representation in England, Europe, South America, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. Berje is known throughout the industry for both its long standing relationships with suppliers around the world and for its tireless search to uncover new and unique raw materials for perfumery. This position allows us to offer a diversified palette of products to our customers at competitive pricing.

In 2003 Berje Trakia was formed in Plovdiv Bulgaria for the manufacture and sourcing of Natural essential oils from this important producing area. We have completed our sixth year of Rose Oil and Lavender Oil manufacture to guarantee consistent supply and pure quality.

Unique Capabilities

Berje's manufacturing capabilities at our Bloomfield facility includes bulking, blending, filtering, decolorizing and fragrance compounding. The utilization of contract manufacturers for distillation and reaction chemistry of Berje's raw materials is well established. Miltitz Aromatics located in Germany is represented by Berje in the Americas, Australia, Germany and Canada. Their unique abilities which include distillation, reaction chemistry, hydrogenation and proprietary processes allow Berje to have further flexibility with regards to its raw material palette.

Key Capabilities

Berje maintains within its Bloomfield facility arguably one of the largest inventories of raw materiais within the United States. This strong inventory position allows for efficient raw material supply and fragrance compounding turn around time, accommodating our customers just-in-time inventory requirements. Over 3000 aromatic chemicals and virtually every commercially viable essential oil are stocked.

Strategic Advantage

As quality is priority to Berje and our customers, significant time, money and expertise are spent insuring that we achieve customers' expectations. With our many in house quality assurance tools including mass spectrometry, gas chromatography, refractive index, specific gravity, optical rotation, flash points, head space analysis and a variety of wet analysis capabilities, we make every attempt to identify anomalies that would affect our customers' products. At times specific issues may arise that require outside technical services such as but not limited to carbon dating or biological testing. Berje has an established network of facilities capable of completing such tasks.

Specialized Services

Berje will customize its response to meet customers' needs. Packing to customer batch sizes, totes, multipack of lots, maintaining inventories, regulatory requirements, consignment inventories, delayed billing, and technical support are all part of our daily routine. We also have our organic certification in place for this growing segment of our industry.
