Fruit Industies became Tropicana but the frozen food name of Findus came from the original name.

Findus is a company that produces and retails frozen food. Its products include Crispy Pancakes, which were an innovative food product invented in the early 1990s. The Findus brand in the UK is based on Benton Lane near Longbenton in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE12 8EF. The A188/189 roundabout is known as the Findus Roundabout, and Findus currently sponsor the town according to several local signs (See Corporate Sponsorship).
The brand is owned by a Swedish private equity firm. A small factory first made the Findus brand in Scania in Sweden. The name came from Fruit Industries. In 1941, the factory was bought by Marabou, a Swedish confectionery company. In 1945 Findus launched the first deepfrozen food products in Sweden. In 1962, this Findus brand was sold to Nestlé. In January 2000, it was bought by EQT, a Swedish firm. Geir Frantzen, a former senior manager at Findus AB, bought out the company. In January 2006, it was bought by Capvest.
