History of Citroil

The success that has been attributed to Citroil is no doubt a product of the hands-on family management that the company has sustained since the mid-1960s. Beginning with Jacob Glueck and continuing with daughter, Vivian, who took over the reigns of day-to-day management in 1997, Citroil’s fine name in the food industry is undoubtedly attributable to the Glueck’s commitment to growth and excellence.

A quick glance at the timeline provided below is an easy indicator of the surge that Citroil has taken over the years. Now boasting a brand new facility with an expanded flavor division and the construction of state of the art laboratories, Ctiroil Enterprises has moved from dealing with their specialty of Citrus Essential Oils (individual components) to mixing an unlimited range of flavors together for food and beverage applications.
