BrimaPack drives innovation to improve efficiency across the postharvest chain

The fresh produce industry is evolving rapidly. Growers and packers are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce labour costs, extend shelf life, and meet higher sustainability standards, all while minimising food waste. As a result, postharvest technology has become an essential part of the production chain, with packaging playing a key role in preserving product quality from the field to the consumer.

For more than 30 years, BrimaPack has specialised in developing integrated harvesting, packaging, and postharvest solutions for the fresh produce industry. By combining practical engineering with innovative packaging technologies, the company helps growers and packers optimise operations, improve product quality, and increase efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Among BrimaPack's key innovations is the NicePack® system, developed for products such as iceberg lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and melons. Using specially designed breathable films and advanced sealing technology, the system creates an optimal package environment that helps maintain freshness, reduce dehydration, and extend shelf life during storage and transport. This contributes to improved product quality, reduced waste, and better presentation at retail.

Automation is another important element of BrimaPack's approach. Labour availability has become one of the greatest challenges facing horticultural producers worldwide, increasing the need for efficient harvesting and packaging systems. BrimaPack's solutions enable produce to be packed directly in the field or integrated seamlessly into packhouse operations, reducing handling, improving workflow efficiency, and helping growers adapt to changing labour requirements.

Digital technologies are also becoming increasingly important within modern postharvest operations. BrimaPack integrates traceability, production monitoring, and data management into its systems, providing growers and packers with valuable operational insights. These technologies support better decision-making, improve logistics, and help meet the growing traceability requirements of today's fresh produce supply chain.

Sustainability remains a key driver of product development. Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways to improve the environmental performance of fresh produce, and packaging plays an important role in achieving this objective. By extending shelf life and optimising packaging materials, BrimaPack helps customers reduce product losses while continuing to develop solutions that support more sustainable production and distribution.

Innovation is driven by close collaboration with growers, exporters, retailers, and industry partners. This customer-focused approach enables BrimaPack to develop practical solutions that respond to the evolving needs of the horticultural sector. Today, the company supports customers through an extensive international network, providing local expertise and technical assistance in key production regions around the world. In Southern Europe, AGStrategy SL is BrimaPack's official representative in Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Greece, providing regional sales support, technical guidance, and direct access to the company's latest harvesting and postharvest technologies.

As the horticultural sector continues to embrace automation, sustainability, and digital transformation, integrated postharvest solutions will become increasingly important. By combining practical engineering, innovative packaging, and close collaboration with growers and partners worldwide, BrimaPack continues to help the fresh produce industry improve efficiency, reduce waste, and deliver high-quality products from the field to the consumer.
