FELIX INSTRUMENTS cancels planned New Zealand exhibition due to cyclone Gabrielle

As Cyclone Gabrielle approached New Zealand, the staff at Felix Instruments were packing gear for their planned technology breakfast in Tauranga. However, due to the safety concerns and the impact of the cyclone on the region, the company has made the difficult decision to cancel the exhibition. Galen George, Director of Applied Science at Felix Instruments, expressed his concern for the people affected by the cyclone, "I was very worried for our friends and partners in New Zealand. We have many relationships in the NZ agricultural community, and our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected by this devastating weather." The planned tech-based breakfast was intended to introduce the New Zealand kiwifruit industry to the F-751 Kiwifruit Quality Meter. Mr. George was also scheduled to visit major growers in the Bay of Plenty and surrounding regions to provide live on-site demonstrations and meet with quality assurance staff. While the breakfast has been postponed, new dates are being finalized. The F-751 Kiwifruit Quality Meter utilizes NIR technology to quickly and non-destructively measure the Brix content of a kiwifruit. This allows growers and packers to better assess the maturity of their crops and fruit loads. “We look forward to returning to New Zealand after the dust has settled,” remarked Mr. George. “Our team is committed to supporting the New Zealand agricultural community, and we are eager to resume our work with our friends and partners in the region.” To learn more about the F-751 Kiwifruit Quality Meter, please visit https://felixinstruments.com/food-science-instruments/nir-spectroscopy/f-751-kiwi-quality-meter/.
