36 new ripening rooms installed for CMR INFINITA
End of October CMR INFINITA, a subsidiary in Madrid of CMR GROUP, presented its new modern Logistics Platform in Mercamadrid. The new facilities, of 8,765m2, have 9 loading and unloading docks, 36 ripening rooms, a storage capacity of 2,765m2, a ripening capacity of 40,000 tons per year, 6 cold rooms, and a loading and unloading area of 1,200m2.
“This new Logistic Platform with modern equipment will be a step forward for CMR INFINITA in order to grow sales and have a strong position in the market”, - explains CEO CMR GROUP Carles Marti. “New ripening rooms were installed by Interko, one of the world's leading ripening room manufacturers. We have chosen Interko for this important project because we have been working with them for around 5 years in Barcelona facilities and are very satisfied with equipment and service. After finishing with installations in Madrid, we plan to make more installations for Barcelona, we already have there 15 ripening rooms and plan to install 20 more in the future.”
Managing Partner for Interko Chris Maat shares: “This installation for CMR INFINITA is one of the best in the world, considering the quality they will be able to achieve. I can only say that we are very proud to be part of this great project and it will help us a lot to expand in Spain”.
“In Interko we improve every new project and make it better than previous one. Ripening rooms for CMR INFINITA are the best project with most up-to-date equipment, it includes all the latest things we have designed and developed”, - comments Narcis Guinart Sirvent, Project Manager responsible for installation. “Comparing with CMR ripening rooms in Barcelona here in Madrid we have added safety gate, ladder in these rooms is fixed. So for example if you have put pallets on top and want to check fruits, you can actually walk in the middle. Capacity for 1 room is 20 pallets at one time”.
