Produce Show Daily Thursday, October 17, 2019 2 4 Continental Western Corporation: Serving Farmers Since 1952 With its depth of experience and product mix, Continental Western Corporation has been the supplier of choice for a wide range of packaging products and agricul- tural supplies. CWC has an extensive line of packaging products from stretch film, rubber bands, tape and pre-cut strapping. It also supplies items for tying and trellis- ing, such as green tie tape, sisal twine and synthetic tying twine. Continental Western Corporation's agricultural prod- ucts include biodegradable gloves, safety products and rain wear. The company offers great customer service, fast deliv- ery, and innovative solutions and prod- ucts to help growers with all of their requirements. Continental Western Corporation recently opened two new branches; its location in Chicago, Illinois for Midwest/East Coast customers and its now opened Atlanta, Georgia branch to service the Southeast. This expansion allows for faster delivery and lower shipping costs. Continental Western Corporation is actively seeking acquisitions of like-minded companies and strategic product lines that help it grow the CWC brand, its product offering and its geo- graphic reach. In June of 2018, CWC acquired Wholesale Safety, an industrial safety company that specializes in Metal Detectable for food and drug processing. With this acquisition, CWC is proud to offer a complete line of Metal Detectable and additional safety products. CWC also contin- ues to hire at all levels, including product and sales managers, outside sales representatives and customer service team members. It is always interested and seeking other opportunities that will have a positive influence on the company as it continues to deliver value and support to its part- ners.

Thermal Technologies Takes Ripening to New Heights Since it was patented over 25 years ago, the TarpLess ® ripening room from Thermal Technologies has grown to become the industry's number one choice in commercial ripening. Today, over 70 percent of all bananas processed across North America are ripened in Thermal Tech rooms. Continuous innovation and a firm commitment to customer service and support have been major drivers of Thermal Tech's success, but that's just part of the story. The TarpLess ripening room's ability to deliver consistently superior, high quality fruit, day in and day out, with unparalleled reliability and unbeatable profit has been unrivaled in the industry. Now, Thermal Tech is taking ripen- ing to the next level with TarpLess SX, its next generation TarpLess ripening room with Fruit-centric Ripening™. "Fruit-centric Ripening is the innova- tive control technology that forms the beating heart of the TarpLess SX ripen- ing room series," says David Byrne, Vice President of Sales at Thermal Technologies. Data is streamed directly from the fruit to the system's intelligent SX con- trol system. Using this data, the system is able to produce and maintain the perfect balance of temperature, humidity and air- flow to keep pulp temperatures uniform while optimizing control and efficiency throughout every step of the ripening process. "Having digital feed- back from the fruit enables us to fine-tune the ripening process like never before," says Byrne. "It takes out the guesswork while providing improved control and flexi- bility, particularly in rooms with multiple temperature control zones." When combined with Thermal Tech's exclusive humidification sys- tem, TarpLess SX delivers high quali- ty, beautifully ripened fruit that looks better, lasts longer and weighs more with the same unparalleled control, guaranteed uniformity and unbeatable profit that has made the TarpLess ripening room the industry's number one ripening room system for over 25 years. "Over 70 percent of all bananas ripened in North America are processed in TarpLess ripening rooms," says Byrne, "and we want to make sure we continue to build on that success. We work with all the major growers along with 18 of the Top 20 grocery retailers in North America. It's our firm commitment to their success that drives our innovation. TarpLess SX and Fruit-centric Ripening represents the ultimate achievement in that process to date."
