It has only been 4 months since Ciro Gentile S.A. installed the Ecotop ripening rooms, but the first results are already being seen: "The most important thing that our customers noticed is that the fruit now lasts 48 to 60 hours longer than with traditional ripening processes. What has changed is how the fruit ripens."
Ciro Gentile S.A. is a fruit importing company from Uruguay with more than 60 years of experience. It is dedicated to importing exotic fruits that are not produced in Uruguay due to its climate: bananas, pineapples, kiwis, avocados, papayas, mangoes, among others.
Franco Gentile, Executive Director of Ciro Gentile S.A., expressed his satisfaction with the results obtained after the installation of the Cold Energy Ecotop ripening system:
"We met with Cold Energy on the recommendation of the company Sabrostar Fruit Company, who is our supplier in Ecuador. The first contact took place in the modern facilities of the company Argenfruit, located in Mendoza - Argentina. During the visit we got to know the cold rooms, as well as the final product obtained with the Ecotop ripening system. A product that differs from the rest, due to its superior quality and greater durability, and this is what we see at the moment."

What has changed is how the fruit ripens. You can see the change in the color that the banana takes once it ripens, it acquires a much brighter color. Our customers are very satisfied, however, in terms of growth, it is still too early to see it, because 4 months is not indicative", concluded Franco Gentile.
