Within this area we have a modern pack house of 2,000 sq. meters which works within a temperature controlled regime. The build specifications are of the highest standards and feature the latest applications in safety, handling and cooling technology. Discharge of conventional trailers or containers can be achieved quickly, smoothly and safely without the products suffering fluctuations in temperature.
A generator is installed to enable refrigeration, packing, phones and IT systems to continue running in the event of a power outage.
A Ripening Room has been added to allow Peter Gilding & Co Ltd. to provide Ripe and Ready products for their customers.
