Company Background
FRESH INSET is a technology company in the post-harvest freshness preservation and food-tech space
The Fresh Inset Vision is to save the World’s Fresh Produce Resources by delivering efficient and seamless Vidre+ technology to preserve produce freshness throughout the supply chain from packer/shipper to end user. Vidre+ technology is designed to fit both developed and emerging produce markets.
Food Waste is a global problem. One-third of all food produced is wasted, equating to $1 trillion in food waste globally. One-half of fruits and vegetables spoil while in storage, transit, retail, and at homes before they are ever consumed.
Using our technology, growers, packers and shippers are making the supply chain for fruits and vegetables more sustainable. The water and energy consumed in producing fruits and vegetables is wasted when the produce never reaches the end consumer.
In addition, reducing food waste reduces tonnes of unnecessary CO2 emissions. Vidre+ allows the supply chain to adopt more energy efficient practices without sacrificing shelf-life or fruit quality.
Vidre+ technology provides solutions to extend the shelf life of fresh produce for growers, packers, distributors and retail. It preserves the texture, firmness, taste and appearance of produce during storage, transportation and retail display with the use of an innovative delivery system that provides 1-MCP post-harvest freshness protection for fruits and vegetables in a simple to use sticker format. Vidre + provides growers, distributors, packers and retailers flexibility and ease of use freshness techology that allows them to deliver “just harvested” freshness on a year-round basis and enables retailers to increase customer satisfaction with fresh, high quality produce.
Toruń is our hometown and a historical city on the Vistula River in north-central Poland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a population of over 200k people.
We stand on the shoulders of great Polish scientists that came before us like Nicolaus Copernicus, Jan Heweliusz, Marie Skłodowska-Curie, Aleksander Jabłonski or Ignacy Łukasiewicz. Currently, Polish scientists are one of the most sought after scientists in the whole European Union due to an outstanding STEM education.
Toruń is a historical city on the Vistula River in north-central Poland and a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a population of over 200k people.
Toruń is one of the oldest cities in Poland, with the first settlement dated back to the 8th century and later having been expanded in 1233 by the Teutonic Knights.
In the early-modern age, Toruń was a royal city of Poland and it was one of the four largest cities in the country at the time. During the Second World War, Toruń was spared from bombing and destruction; its Old Town and the iconic central marketplace have been entirely preserved.
Toruń is the birthplace of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, after whom the largest institution of higher education in Toruń is named – Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń serves over 20 thousand students and was founded in 1945, based on the Toruń Scientific Society, Stefan Batory University in Wilno, and Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv.
