Innovation and controlled atmosphere for sustainable agrifood preservation

Marvil Engineering is an Italian company specializing in the design and development of technologies for the preservation and storage of agrifood products. Its core activity focuses on controlled atmosphere systems, a technology that precisely modifies and regulates air composition inside cold storage rooms.

By managing gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, the company slows down the natural ripening and decay processes of fruits and vegetables, preserving their quality, texture, and freshness for 

Reducing food waste and optimizing resource use

One of Marvil Engineering’s main contributions is extending food shelf life and reducing losses during storage and distribution. Consequently, its activity is directly aligned with SDG 2: Zero Hunger, as improved preservation allows harvested food to be utilized for longer periods, cutting food waste and enhancing agrifood supply chain efficiency.

The company also contributes directly to SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Preserving produce for longer ensures better use of agricultural resources such as water, soil, and energy. Furthermore, the firm develops disinfestation systems based on ultra-low oxygen atmospheres, enabling pest control while reducing the need for chemical treatments.

Precision technology and energy efficiency

Another pillar tied to Marvil Engineering’s operations is SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, driven by the development of specialized technological solutions to improve postharvest processes. Its systems include nitrogen generators, carbon dioxide and ethylene control units, gas analyzers, and automation technologies that tailor storage conditions to different crops and facilities.

Finally, the company advances SDG 13: Climate Action through measures aimed at reducing its own energy consumption, including photovoltaic solar power installations, LED lighting, and heat pump climate control systems. In this way, Marvil Engineering combines innovation and food preservation to build a more efficient and sustainable agrifood industry.
