Hessing and PerfoTec have announced a strategic partnership to redefine the freshness of fruits and vegetables. By combining their expertise, Hessing—a leading provider of fresh, ready-to-eat sliced vegetables, fruits, meal salads, and fresh produce packages—and PerfoTec—a pioneer in packaging solutions—are joining forces to set a new standard in the industry.
This collaboration will see both companies working as a unified team to develop cutting-edge packaging solutions that precisely match the respiration needs of fresh produce. Unlike most packaging solutions, which rely on generic approaches, Hessing and PerfoTec focus on tailor-made technologies that meet the unique requirements of each product. According to both parties, this innovative approach redefines packaging and promises to transform the future of fresh produce.

"It's fantastic to take the next step towards perfection in quality and shelf life after such a long collaboration with Hessing," said Bas Groeneweg, CEO of PerfoTec. "Working with a progressive company like Hessing provides us with a unique opportunity to develop and implement our latest technologies in a modern, innovative environment."
Harm van Nispen, Director at Hessing, added: "Hessing now has full access to PerfoTec's advanced technology. We have the FRM (Fast Respiration Meter), and many of our machines are already equipped with the highly accurate gassing unit (O2Control) and laser systems for micro-perforation. By accurately measuring the respiration rate of each product, we can use the O2Control to create an ideal atmosphere within the packaging. When combined with targeted micro-perforation, this atmosphere can be maintained for days."
The partnership aims to deliver products that surpass industry standards in freshness. By reducing waste and extending shelf life, Hessing and PerfoTec seek to make a significant impact on the entire fresh produce supply chain. This commitment to sustainable innovation will provide consumers with products that stay fresh longer, reducing environmental impact in the process.
