Protectors of banana bunches in polyethylene.

SupraLive S.A. makes innovation in the protection of bananas


Delia Zigüenza, Marlon Benquimella and Paulo Benquimella, discuss product developments and expectations for the future of this promising business.

Delia Zigüenza commented on products that were presented at the International Forum of Bananas and Fresh Fruits in Guayaquil - Ecuador. The covers for bananas and polyethylene protectors for clusters caused a great impression at the show, given its innovation, especially the expanded polyethylene protectors for the banana cluster which is a novelty in the sector and it is dramatically increasing its market share mainly in Ecuador, but SupraLife is already reaching into the Central American market.

Mr. Marco Benquimella noted that the product has generated substantial savings and profits for subsequent producers / exporters of bananas. The product is made in low-density polyethylene (foamed-expanded) with a complex process with large benefits for the users of the product.

Mr. Paulo Benquimella highlighted significant savings in manpower since there is no need to replace it several times. The protector is placed when the cluster is two weeks old and re-used during the harvest. Therefore the process becomes very fast, very agile. The fact that the company also has 50 years of industry experience is testimony of the benefits of the protector. The product has the producer's needs and expectations of an industry in mind, which gives greater assurance in its use.
