Explore our primary array of high-quality vegetable concentrates, proteins, and specialty organic foods designed for B2B applications.
For industrial food brands, finding a reliable, cost-effective, and high-volume Tomato Paste 220l manufacturer is crucial for maintaining margins and product consistency. Tomato paste processed into 220L (approximately 240kg net weight) steel drums with internal aseptic barrier bags represents the global standard for long-distance transport, bulk recipe formulation, and shelf-stable raw material inventory management.
As food chains prioritize security of supply, knowing the agricultural origin, processing parameters (Brix, Bostwick viscosity, Howard Mold Count), and processing speed from field-to-drum becomes a strategic advantage. Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd. (established in 2005) bridges the gap between massive agrarian output and strict international certification demands, positioning itself as a premier supplier of high-density tomato concentrates.
At Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd., we recognize that the label "cheap" must not equate to compromised safety. Our structural advantage lies in our vertical integration. Certified as an EU & NOP organic products supplier, we manage our own organic agricultural fields and advanced processing facilities across several Chinese provinces.
By bypassing intermediaries, our supply chain ensures that our 220L tomato paste drums strictly adhere to international organic rules. Furthermore, as an officially audited and qualified supplier to multinational FMCG corporations like Nestlé, our factories run under continuous hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) regimes, maintaining deep batch traceability from seed breeding to global port arrival.
Quality and integrity represent the bedrock of our business model.
Our farming initiatives utilize direct drip irrigation and satellite-monitored growth phases to optimize the natural sugar content (Brix) and color density (Lycopene) of our tomatoes. The result is a naturally robust product that requires zero thickeners, color additives, or artificial stabilizers.
Core Standard compliance:
• USDA NOP / EU Organic Standard Certifications
• ISO 22000, BRCGS, and Halal / Kosher Audited
• Clean label: 100% Non-GMO, allergen-free, and gluten-free processing environments.
Selecting the appropriate parameter is vital for final processing stability, texture retention, and flavor release. Below is the technical specification chart for our high-demand 220L tomato paste range.

Processed at lower extraction temperatures (approx. 65–75°C). Enzymatic action naturally breakdown pectin, creating a lower-viscosity paste. Best for tomato juice reconstitution, ketchup, and high-pourability sauces.
Processed at higher extraction temperatures (approx. 85–95°C) to immediately deactivate pectin-reducing enzymes. Preserves natural pectin, resulting in a thick, high-viscosity paste. Perfect for thick pizza sauces, hot sauces, and pastes.
Aseptic drumming keeps the paste shelf-stable at room temperature (0–25°C) for up to 24 months. Once opened, store under refrigeration and process within 24 hours to prevent ambient oxidation and microbial decay.
Why is Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd. able to maintain highly competitive pricing models while enforcing uncompromising global standards?
China's northwestern tomato belt (spanning regions like Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia) accounts for a major share of the world's processed tomato supply. Due to unique geographical features—15+ hours of intense daily sunshine, wide day-to-night temperature variations, and clean glacial meltwater—tomatoes grown here possess intense natural red coloring (high lycopene) and high soluble solids.
This regional advantage translates to raw materials that naturally contain high sugar levels and thick structural yields. By combining this natural wealth with our state-of-the-art evaporation equipment from Italy (FBR ELPO / Rossi & Catelli), our factories reduce thermal footprint and energy usage, translating to dynamic cost savings for B2B buyers.
During the harvest peak (typically August to September), tomatoes are harvested mechanically and routed to the factory within 12 hours. Rapid sorting, cleaning, enzymatic cooking, high-vacuum evaporation, and aseptic packaging in one seamless, automated loop prevent contamination and lock in fresh taste profile parameters.
Different food formulations demand distinct properties. Our 220L drum output supplies specialized operations globally:
Utilize our 28-30% Cold Break tomato paste to achieve an even pour, vibrant natural red appearance, and optimal balance of natural acids and sugars. Simple reconstitution yields premium tableside condiments.
For baked beans, canned fish in tomato sauce, pasta meals, and canned stews, our paste acts as a robust natural binder. It maintains stability through high-heat retort sterilization cycles.
Centralized kitchens and seasoning mix companies use our high-viscosity 36-38% paste to standardize base mixes. The high concentration minimizes transport weight per unit, boosting distribution logistics.
We actively lower our carbon footprint per ton of tomato output. By using solar-assisted power in our evaporation stages and optimizing regional transport routes, we support the ESG compliance objectives of our global partners.
Committed to Eco-Friendly ProductionNavigating global agricultural import duties, quarantine guidelines, and health certificates requires experienced handlers. Having exported agricultural goods for two decades, Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd. supplies complete paperwork packages with every 220L drum shipment:
Every drum is packed in a heavy-duty cylindrical steel container lined with a barrier multi-layer laminated aseptic foil bag. The drums are palletized—typically 4 drums per wooden pallet, wrapped securely in heavy shrink film to ensure stability during rough ocean transits. A standard 20-foot shipping container easily holds 80 drums, which totals roughly 19 metric tons of high-grade paste.
Critical industrial insights to assist your procurement directors and technical food scientists during sourcing evaluations.
The main difference lies in heating temperature during processing. Hot Break is heated to 85–95°C to preserve natural pectins, making it ideal for thick sauces like pizza or pasta sauce. Cold Break is processed at 65–75°C, yielding lower viscosity which works perfectly for tomato juice reconstitution, ketchup, and light table sauces.
Every batch goes through strict quality checks, testing Brix, color, Bostwick consistency, and Howard Mold Count (HMC). Our facility is ISO, HACCP, Halal, Kosher, and EU/NOP organic certified. We trace each drum from the specific agrarian plot to the final processing unit, meeting audits from top brands like Nestlé.
We pack in 220L aseptic bags inside steel drums, holding approximately 240kg net weight each. A standard 20ft container fits 80 drums (on 20 pallets, 4 drums per pallet), yielding around 19 metric tons of tomato paste per shipment.
Yes, we are one of China's leading organic tomato paste exporters, carrying USDA NOP and EU organic certifications. We can adjust the Brix (such as 28-30% or 36-38%) and Bostwick consistency limits to fit your recipe needs.
By leveraging our agricultural fields in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia alongside automated high-volume processing lines, we control upfront production costs. Long-term contract options let our global B2B clients lock in prices before seasonal harvests begin.
In addition to premium tomato paste, we process and export high-purity organic food ingredients, dehydrated vegetables, and juice concentrates.
At Hebei Abiding Co., Ltd., we operate with a clear purpose: to deliver healthy, safe ingredients while offering responsive customer support. Our motto—"Character, Food, Conscience, Love"—directs how we source agricultural products and support international food supply chains.
We work to sync our manufacturing with environmental safety, utilizing energy-saving technologies and waste reduction programs. By integrating quality assurance systems from farm to final transport, we aim to build mutual growth and long-lasting partnerships with food companies and distributors worldwide.
