PHILADELPHIA, July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AgroFresh
Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGFS), a global leader in produce freshness
solutions, today announced the official launch of its FreshCloud™
platform, a data-backed, insights-driven solution for monitoring

history of innovation and scientific know-how in fruit and
vegetable freshness, AgroFresh's insights and expertise now add new

As part of this initiative, AgroFresh recently acquired Verigo,
a disruptive Internet of Things (IoT) company offering end-to-end
visibility and management of cold-chain logistics adding
proprietary technologies to its industry-leading portfolio. The
acquisition is the first step in tangibly delivering on AgroFresh's
commitment to improve fruit quality that will increase consumable
produce and reduce food waste. FreshCloud is fueled by real-time
predictive data insights that improve efficiency in the delivery of
produce to consumers around the world.
"As the world becomes increasingly data-driven, our commitment
to high-quality fresh produce requires not only the best chemistry
and expertise, but also the best information technology to ensure
freshness across the supply chain and increased logistical
efficiency to minimize waste," said AgroFresh CEO Jordi Ferre. "FreshCloud is a stride forward and
helps us deliver on our unyielding mission to prevent global food
waste and conserving our planet's resources."
AgroFresh's acquisition of Verigo strengthens the company's role
as a provider of intelligent and innovative solutions for customers
across the fresh produce value chain. Verigo's technology now forms
the foundation of FreshCloud Transit Insights. The
acquisition contributed to a revamp of AgroFresh's AdvanStore
offering, now called FreshCloud Storage Insights.
Previously, AgroFresh's SmartFresh™ customers had limited access to
storage room data and now have a more sophisticated delivery and
mobile interface for real-time availability of data.
FreshCloud Predictive Screening, another breakthrough
innovation that will be part of the FreshCloud platform, predicts
the risk of disorder development during storage by analyzing gene
expression at commercial harvest, resulting in more informed
storage management decisions.
"FreshCloud supports higher quality produce from farm to
consumer by removing much of the guesswork throughout the value
chain, resulting in real-time insights, improved quality metrics
and reduced food waste," said Tilo
Gomez, director of new business development at
AgroFresh.
AgroFresh will provide an opportunity to learn more about
FreshCloud and its solutions during a "Fresh-inar" next month.
Customers should stay tuned for an email invitation from their
sales representatives.
