When you deliver the best varieties and proper cold chain management, the Tectrol® Service Network will help you deliver an effective Modified Atmosphere package. You work hard to grow, package and deliver the freshest berries to your retailers’ consumers. The Tectrol Service Network works just as hard to help assure our Modified Atmospheres perform – delivering berry quality all the way home.
Tectrol® enhances your competitive capability and maintains fruit quality where other shipping methods may fall short. And because the benefit of Tectrol® stays with the fruit long after the seal is broken, this proven shipping method also provides more appealing shelf presentations longer than unprotected fruit – preserving your company’s reputation for quality with retail buyers and consumers. Tectrol® is also an OMRI® listed product, allowing you to confidently choose our products for organic production.
