Interko anticipates stronger interest from Russian and CIS markets

INTERKO, the global leader for the design, manufacture and installation of fresh fruit ripening rooms, is anticipating greater interest in its state-of-the-art product range, especially for exotic fruit ripening, when the Dutch company participates at WorldFood Moscow later this month. As local ripening operators in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS or Russian Commonwealth) seek trusted industry brands with reliable and proven technology, Interko, the world’s longest-serving provider, is well placed to serve the growing demand. To raise awareness, Interko will exhibit in Hall 13, Stand B-174, at WorldFood Moscow, which this year moves to a new venue, the Crocus Expo, on 24-27 September 2019. Both Interko’s Managing Director/Partner Chris Maat, and Senior Business Development Manager Anna Zegveld will be present at the show. Chris explains: “Since Interko pioneered the first modern fruit ripening rooms over 50 years ago, Interko has continued to supply the most advanced technology on the global market from our factory in the Netherlands. That track record of leadership speaks volumes about the quality, reliability and effectiveness of our systems. “Interko remains committed to Russia and the CIS, and there is still potential to expand here. Considering that we manufacture a complete range of the most efficient ripening rooms on the market with an automated ripening process, we believe we can bring a number of benefits to local operators.” Interko invites any retailer, importer, distributor, wholesaler or food processor to visit its stand at WorldFood Moscow where Interko will present the very latest in modern fresh fruit ripening technology, and demonstrate its latest technological advancements. Anna explains: “Interko has a lot of technical expertise when it comes to fruit ripening, so come to our stand to find out how we can help you! We are offering complimentary consultations during which we can quickly analyse your daily energy consumption to calculate how our solutions can give you very low daily running costs.” Chris adds: “There is still so much we can inform operators in Russia and the CIS about how Interko’s high quality, energy-efficient, cost-effective and European-built ripening technology can improve product quality and raise profitability for any business large or small. “Thanks to their low energy consumption and clever design, our systems are designed to cut operational costs, and ripen any fruit to perfection. What’s more, we keep track of our customers’ results to ensure operators can maximise the performance of their ripening rooms, and minimise their costs on an ongoing basis.” Interko is always pushing the boundaries to remain at the forefront of fruit ripening technology. Over the last 50 years, Interko has made its machinery smarter and smarter through ongoing design and development improvements. Today, Interko is renowned for its energy-saving and cost-saving designs, supported by a service-orientated approach to individual challenges, coupled with its international network of local installation partners and dedicated after-sales support.
