Alex van der Meulen, Bas de Bekker, Peter Lexmond, Christa Speek and Marc Staring from Meteor Systems. They were on hand to discuss the latest innovations. One of these innovations is the MS-150 coating, developed in collaboration with Tata Steel. This is a robust, corrosion-resistant and food-safe coating. With stronger disinfectants needed to control aggressive crop diseases, cultivation gutters face tougher cleaning agents, increasing the risk of corrosion. Designed to withstand these conditions, the MS-150 coating offers durability, high resistance to detergents and improved light reflection. The coating is fully recyclable, contains no substances such as chrome and plasticisers, has been extensively tested and has a 10-year global warranty.
