Wapato, Washington-based Pace International exhibited at the IFPA’s Global Produce and Floral Show Oct. 27-29 in Orlando, Florida.
“We’re building a bold and interactive booth experience for growers, packers and shippers to gain insight into Pace’s products, technologies and services and how we can support their fruits and vegetables postharvest,” said Jorge Gotuzzo, senior director of marketing.
“With a focus on sustainable practices, Pace will host a paper-free booth, giving our guests an opportunity to engage with Pace’s innovative postharvest solutions through digital experiences.”
Executives were in attendance, representing post-harvest solutions for pome, citrus, cherry, stone and tropical fruits, amongst others crops. The group welcomed current and prospective growers, packers and shippers to their booth.
“Together toward zero waste and built on our relentless pursuit to maintain the nutritional quality, flavor and appeal of fresh fruits and vegetables, we are maximizing fresh produce consumption through innovation,” Gotuzzo said.
“IFPA’s Global Show provides a great opportunity for our organization to showcase postharvest products and technologies that help improve the way we store, pack, transport and enjoy fresh produce.”
