"Our company aim is to continuously identify unique, novel technologies, developed internally or through our partners, that address the needs of our customers.

"NatuWrap represents a new standard in fruit protection – novel, effective and easy to integrate into existing operations," said Nabaco CEO Jamie Strachan. "AgroFresh's strong global reach and deep experience in post-harvest solutions makes them the ideal partner to scale the benefits of our technology to the widest possible range of fruit and vegetable packers and processors."
