Interko to celebrate milestone 50th anniversary on Fruit Logistica Tech Stage

Interko will celebrate its milestone 50th anniversary this year by giving a special presentation on the Fruit Logistica 2018 Tech Stage that will chart the company’s five decades of continuous growth and development.

On Thursday 8 February, in Hall 8.1 at 16.00, Chris Maat, Interko's Managing Director/Partner, will present a technical exploration of the logistical role of ripening in the fresh produce supply chain during the last 50 years.

Chris will take the audience on a journey from field to plate. With different fruits arriving from various sources that are destined for distinct markets, he will illustrate the challenges of perfecting the ripening process for individual applications.

“From optimising airflow to accommodating various box designs and fine-tuning the subsequent logistics, I will explain how such challenges can be overcome thanks to the development of tailored and adaptable ripening rooms featuring state-of-the-art technology,” Chris explains.

Established in 1968, Interko has successfully evolved from a local Dutch cooling technology provider into the world’s leading independent designer, manufacturer and installer of revolutionary fruit ripening solutions.

“Interko is the pioneer of fresh fruit ripening technology, and we have strived to remain at the forefront of this industry,” points out Chris. He continues: “During the last 50 years, we have made considerable progress, consistently rolling out revolutionary products that solve various market challenges. In the last five years alone, we have made some major achievements in launching highly-efficient, cost-effective and, therefore, profitable ripening solutions for our customers.”
