We have been in busi­ness for 20+ years and have devel­oped over 60+ patents. 

Our head­quar­ters is locat­ed in Cen­ten­ni­al, CO, USA, and we serve cus­tomers worldwide. 

Our sci­en­tists have invent­ed and patent­ed solu­tions aimed at main­tain­ing prod­uct integri­ty and enhanc­ing qual­i­ty while in stor­age or tran­sit, includ­ing prod­uct life exten­sion, the removal of unde­sir­able fla­vors and odors caused by pack­ag­ing prod­ucts, and solu­tions to wastage of fruits, veg­eta­bles, and flowers. 

We love to pro­vide oppor­tu­ni­ties to ener­getic stu­dents wish­ing to immerse them­selves in the excit­ing world of our busi­ness. If you have an inter­est, we wel­come you to con­tact Human Resources via our Con­tact Us page. 

Ver­dant Tech­nolo­gies is a pri­vate­ly held com­pa­ny. We would like to grow with part­ners who are: 

• Inspired know­ing they are mak­ing a real dif­fer­ence to people’s health and well-being local and across the globe.
• Grat­i­fied in doing the right thing to lessen the impact of the indus­try on the environment.
• Moti­vat­ed to be involved in improv­ing the world’s food system.

Please con­tact us if you would like to learn more. 

Ver­dant Tech­nolo­gies was acquired by Gulftech Inter­na­tion­al in June 2021. Gulftech has spent more than 50 years cre­at­ing new and inno­v­a­tive equip­ment for grow­ers, pack­ers, and food pro­cess­ing com­pa­nies, build­ing long-last­ing rela­tion­ships as stew­ards to the world’s lead­ing food pro­cess­ing com­pa­nies. Gultech’s fam­i­ly of com­pa­nies touch about 90% of the world’s fresh pro­duce, juices, nuts and tuna prod­ucts and their foot­print extends across 85 countries. 

Har­vestHold is a post-har­vest prod­uct life exten­sion solu­tion used by grow­ers, dis­trib­u­tors, and retail­ers to extend the usable life of fruits, veg­eta­bles and flow­ers by an aver­age of 50% and sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce wastage in the food sup­ply chain. Har­vestHold is the most stor­able and portable prod­uct life exten­sion solu­tion avail­able on the mar­ket, and pro­vides grow­ers, dis­trib­u­tors, and retail­ers flex­i­bil­i­ty and ease in use, with the abil­i­ty to tar­get appli­ca­tion for max­i­mum efficacy.

Har­vestHold is applied to typ­i­cal food pack­ag­ing mate­ri­als and can be eas­i­ly inte­grat­ed into nor­mal stor­age and dis­tri­b­u­tion operations. 

Fruits and veg­eta­bles, includ­ing pre-cut prod­ucts, are sig­nif­i­cant­ly improved by the use of Har­vestHold, as well as flo­ral prod­ucts includ­ing cut flow­ers and pot­ted plants. For both cli­mac­teric pro­duce (pro­duce that con­tin­ues to ripen post-har­vest) and non-cli­mac­teric pro­duce (pro­duce that stops ripen­ing post-har­vest), Har­vestHold has been shown to enhance fresh­ness and quality. 

Har­vestHold works with a plant’s nat­ur­al res­pi­ra­tion process to opti­mize the pace of ripen­ing and requires no water or oth­er cat­a­lysts to acti­vate. Har­vestHold uti­lizes a supe­ri­or deliv­ery method of a trust­ed, indus­try-stan­dard prod­uct life exten­sion com­pound as the active ingredient.

Har­vestHold is sim­ply includ­ed in the pack­ag­ing of fruits, veg­eta­bles, and flow­ers at the time of har­vest. It requires no spe­cial equip­ment or cat­a­lysts to acti­vate and was designed for max­i­mum ease of inte­gra­tion into exist­ing oper­a­tional processes. 

Har­vestHold can be applied and reap­plied at many points through­out the sup­ply chain. To max­i­mize its effec­tive­ness, it should be ini­tial­ly applied at the time of har­vest and pack­ag­ing of pro­duce and flo­ral products.

No, Har­vestHold is not an allergen.

Har­vestHold is not approved for use on pro­duce sold as organ­ic. At this time, Ver­dant Tech­nolo­gies does not have an organ­ic prod­uct life exten­sion solu­tion, but it is in our pipeline of our tar­get­ed new prod­uct innovations.

Har­vestHold extends the usable prod­uct life and enhances the qual­i­ty of pro­duce, pro­vid­ing con­sumers with more time to use the prod­ucts they buy. By opti­miz­ing the ripen­ing process, fruits and veg­eta­bles reach con­sumers with fresh-picked tex­ture and fla­vor, that lasts longer. 

No, Har­vestHold leaves no smell or taste behind. 

Yes. By opti­miz­ing the ripen­ing process, pro­duce treat­ed with Har­vestHold reach­es con­sumers with supe­ri­or nutri­tion­al con­tent. Untreat­ed pro­duce has a high­er poten­tial of being har­vest­ed too ear­ly (there­fore, not ripen­ing enough before reach­ing opti­mal nutri­tion­al con­tent) or reach­ing con­sumers in an over­ripe state, both of which have infe­ri­or nutri­tion­al benefits. 

No, Har­vestHold is not GMO.

Pro­duce pro­tect­ed by Har­vestHold is safe to eat. 1‑MCP doesn’t leave residues on your favorite fruit and veg­eta­bles. How­ev­er, the Har­vestHold film or label inside the pack­ag­ing is not edi­ble and dan­ger­ous to ingest.

Har­vestHold works with a plant’s nat­ur­al res­pi­ra­tion process at a cel­lu­lar lev­el, and there­fore can­not be washed off. It is not a coat­ing or film that requires removal by clean­ing. Pro­duce treat­ed with Har­vestHold is 100% safe for consumption.

Yes. There are no restric­tions on exports of pro­duce that have the Har­vestHold application.
