PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AgroFresh
Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGFS), a global leader in produce
freshness solutions, today announced the launch of SmartFresh™
InBox to its U.S. customers. SmartFresh InBox delivers AgroFresh's
time-tested SmartFresh technology in a compact solution for greater
flexibility.
SmartFresh technology has provided tangible benefits for
growers, packers and retailers for nearly two decades. Grounded in
the most advanced plant physiology science, SmartFresh works with
the fruit or vegetable's natural ripening process, halting the
ripening process to extend the produce's just-picked freshness.
"Our aim is to support our customers in providing high-quality
fresh produce to more consumers around the world and to help them
decrease food waste," said AgroFresh CEO Jordi Ferre. "SmartFresh InBox is our latest
innovation to help growers overcome challenges and supply fresh,
healthy produce to their customers."
The convenient SmartFresh InBox sachets are easy to apply and
handle, offering effective protection from internal and external
threats to freshness, increasing shelf life and ultimately reducing
fruit and vegetable shrinkage and improving profits for growers.
Studies show SmartFresh InBox has a significant effect on firmness
after short storage and shelf life.
SmartFresh InBox expands the availability of the award-winning
SmartFresh technology for growers without an airtight room or who
require a smaller, more accessible option.
"At AgroFresh, we are committed to growers' success and work
closely with them to develop and provide tailored solutions to fit
their specific needs," said Veronika
Mangin, global core portfolio project lead at AgroFresh.
"SmartFresh InBox is the latest example of our long-term
collaboration with growers. It's a small, easy to administer yet
powerful treatment that prolongs freshness."
SmartFresh InBox is registered in all U.S. states except
California on apple, pear, plum,
kiwifruit, persimmon, broccoli and tomato crops. In California, SmartFresh InBox is registered on
kiwifruit.
