Last September , Liquidseal raised another € 1.7 million via NPEX to expand its organisation and accelerate its processes . This Dutch company makes coatings to extend flowers , fruits , and veg ' shelf live . Last week , this listed company report an unavoidable reorganization . " It ’s super unpleasant , " managing director Victor Monster states in a response to this site . " But the market is somewhat slower to swallow the idea than we ’d hop and planned . We , thus , have to let several mass go . "
In its executive statement , the company notes that 2023 was in particular challenging . rose wine sales showed no recovery , and the market is tedious to accept the yield product . " Our company has its origins in the rose market . That ’s our so - called backbone . From there , we educate the fruit coating . We used most of last yr ’s funding specifically to accelerate its development . But that ’s not happening , so we ’re now gearing down slimly . We ’ll have to rely more on the farseeing run , " says Victor .
" We invested in the organization to agnise this speedup . The grocery store , however , is hesitating and is n’t embracing these coatings as quickly as the time and energy we ’ve put into them deserves . It ’s paramount that , despite this turn of redundancies , we hold enough punch to stay active in our most important mart . For India , Mexico , Kenya , Ecuador , and Colombia , that sure enough is still so . We ’re juggling raft of chunk at once . But there will be fewer of those as we return to basics for a while . "
" While several retailers enthusiastically buy our products , these sales were insufficient to delay these measures . Our budget was importantly backlogged , and that was worsening every month . That threaten our continuity and pull us to take uttermost footfall . A material circle of layoff is the only room to reduce price importantly ; that will fall out at the end of August , " the music director explicate , lend that ten people will be affected .
Nevertheless , Monster remains positive about the retentive term . " deal the market trends , we ’re on the right cartroad with our fruit coating . combat food for thought waste is an important issue , and the statute law besiege plastic packaging , for example , is in our favor . We ’re , therefore , definitely affirmative about the future . In the fruit and vegetable category , we see the good results for avocado , mango , and citrus . "
" Of course , it could be used for other fruits and vegetables , but European legal philosophy and regulations restrain us . We , for illustration , do n’t yet have permission for our cucumber mathematical product . That , while we have a perfect coating for it which we already use in Mexico and America . We ’ll have to be patient before we get the green light . Liquidseal ’s hereafter is undoubtedly bright , " Victor conclude .
