Omnivent and Ross Enterprises Announce Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Potato Storage Solutions

Omnivent provides the technology necessary for storage, like ventilation, CO2 refreshment and cooling, while Ross Enterprises contributes with local storage facility production, installation and technical support. The collaboration is aimed at enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of potato storage operations through the integration of advanced climate management technology. Together, the companies plan to provide growers and storage facility operators with systems that optimize temperature, humidity, and airflow conditions, ensuring the highest quality of stored potatoes and reducing waste due to improper storage conditions.

Optimizing Storage Conditions

With an increasing demand for high-quality potatoes, storage conditions are more critical than ever. Temperature fluctuations, humidity issues, and improper ventilation can cause spoilage and significant loss of crops. Omnivent’s climate control systems are designed to precisely monitor and adjust environmental factors.

A Commitment to Sustainability

Both companies share a strong commitment to sustainability, and this partnership aims to drive the potato storage industry toward more energy-efficient solutions. By incorporating energy-saving technologies and providing storage systems that optimize resource use, the partnership is poised to help growers operate more sustainably while maintaining profitability. “Our head office is about 7,000 km from India. Over the years, we have experienced that the language barrier and distance make it challenging to provide the best possible service. Therefore, it made sense to partner with Ross Enterprises. Their local knowledge and network will be valuable in providing storage solutions and services in the growing Indian market for the next decade. This partnership also enables us to deliver turnkey cold storage facilities for vegetables. We look forward to working with Ross Enterprises,”said commercial director Errol van Groenewoud.

Innovative Solutions for a Growing Industry

This partnership comes at a time when the global demand for potatoes continues to grow, driven by increased consumption and the expanding processed potato sector. With more than 350 million tonnes of potatoes produced worldwide annually, the need for innovative and efficient storage solutions is critical for ensuring long-term supply and quality.
