Jogi Juices LLC, located in Paterson, NJ, produces several fruit juices and beverages many Americans would consider exotic, even though they are fairly well-known in Latin America and the Caribbean. With the exception of a few organic brands, the automated plant produces beverages almost exclusively for its parent company, Tropical Cheese Industries in Perth Amboy, NJ, under the TROPICAL label.
