Contronics Engineering B.V.

Mission With 40% of harvested food not reaching the consumer's plate, we are wasting an obscene amount of food. Reducing food loss and waste is seen as one of the most promising ways to improve food security in the coming decade. We have found a way to tackle food waste with Dry Mist® humidification. This mist can extend the freshness and shelf life of fruit, vegetables and other products by keeping them hydrated and cool. Dry Mist® is used at every stage of the supply chain, from post-harvest through storage and transportation to the supermarket shelf, enabling a 50% reduction in food waste. How we work Our mission is to do our bit in the fight against food waste. Our ultrasonic Dry Mist® technology has been helping us do this for decades - and not just us. Our customers currently have more than a thousand systems in use worldwide. With the support of our 30 international distribution partners, Contronics is a leading name in the fresh food supply chain due to the reliability and hygiene of our systems.
