The family-owned firm has invested EUR10m (US$14.3m) in the move, with EUR7m spent in equipping its plant at Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, in south-east France, with a production line capable of turning out 14,000 bottled vegetable smoothie units per hour.
Martinet has set a sales target of 1.2m units in the remaining five months of 2011, rising ten-fold and 20-fold respectively in 2012 and 2013.
The launch includes a marketing campaign that will see the free distribution of 520,000 bottles over the next two months.
