Agrifresh processes vegetables for restaurants, catering companies, and supermarkets – focusing on quality, hygiene, and sustainability
The Lebanese family company Agrifresh, which specializes in the production of fresh, ready-to-eat cut vegetables, relies on KRONEN machines in its state-of-the-art production facility. With a daily production output of 25,000 kilograms, processing operations 365 days a year, and a commitment to maximum hygiene standards, Agrifresh supplies fresh foods to numerous restaurants, caterers, supermarkets, and private households.
Efficient processing and optimal hygiene thanks to modern technology
The production processes at Agrifresh are automated throughout and focus on achieving efficiency, hygiene, and sustainability. When cutting, washing, and drying fruit and vegetables, the company relies on a combination of different KRONEN machines, including:
The solutions used in its facility enable the flexible, efficient processing of a huge variety of products, including iceberg, romaine, lollo, and oak leaf lettuce, arugula/rocket, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, and carrots. Since 2016, Agrifresh placed several orders to expand its KRONEN machine portfolio in order to process growing production volumes and meet high quality and hygiene standards with the modern machines.
High-quality processing for demanding markets
From preparing and cutting to washing and spin-drying the washed products: Every station in the production process uses at least one KRONEN machine. The processing results are high-quality products with a shelf life of up to seven days. The KRONEN machines impressed the company with their easy operation, reliability, and consistently high processing quality – a central prerequisite for continuous operation all year round.
A partnership on an equal footing
”The KRONEN machines allow us to benefit from efficient, hygienic, and resource-friendly production activities with maximum technical quality. We particularly appreciate the reliability of the technology and our partnership and communication with the KRONEN team – a cooperation that creates real added value,” explained Georges Doummar, Managing Director and Owner of Agrifresh.
