Agri-Food
The food supply chain, “from the farm to the fork,” covers all the industrial stages throughout the fresh and processed products cycles. These cycles range from production of raw material (farm output, both plant and animal) to transformation and processing, distribution, marketing & sales and consumption. We divide the foodstuffs sector into three main application groups: cryogenics, carbonation and protective atmospheres.
Air Liquide Romania promotes a comprehensive and innovative range of applications for freezing, coating, modified atmosphere packaging, carbonation, inerting and niche applications like banana ripening, cream whipping, artificial insemination. ALIGALTM range is our solution for the food market.
In a commitment to consumer safety, Air Liquide Romania has prioritized the implementation of HACCP standards in the food industry, especially in respect of the production, storage, and distribution of food-grade gases (ALIGALTM). These principles complement other quality specifications, such as Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
Whether our customers have a greenhouse, storage facilities for grains, fruits and vegetables, or do business in cattle insemination or fish farming, Air Liquide Romania can offer each of one the reliable solution for process improvement and safety. From CO2 enrichment or disinfestation to cryobiology and oxygenation, Air Liquide Romania’s solutions bring productivity enhancement to our customers.
