PuriCore Lands Second Major US Retailer for FloraFresh

Four-Year Agreement Valued at $3.5 Million

 

PuriCore (LSE: PURI), a global company focused on safe and effective protection against the spread of infectious pathogens, today announces it has signed a new FloraFresh® sales agreement valued at approximately $3.5 million over a four-year term with a second leading US supermarket retailer. The national retailer will use FloraFresh to improve the quality and shelf-life of cut flowers and to decrease labour costs in its stores that have a full floral department. Under terms of agreement, the retailer will begin using FloraFresh late this year and will complete the implementation of this floral programme by the second quarter of 2014. This agreement marks the second major US retailer to use multiple PuriCore products, enhancing both fresh produce and cut flowers, in the vast majority of its stores.

 

Michael Ashton, Executive Chairman, said:

"This second major FloraFresh agreement demonstrates that US supermarket retailers are embracing the value of this product to improve both the quality of their floral offerings as well as their bottom line by reducing inventory waste and cleaning labour. This sale also validates our strategy to increase our footprint in stores of existing customers through our expanded product offerings that deliver similar quality and economic value propositions."

 

About FloraFresh, the Sterilox® Fresh System, and ProduceFresh™

Leading US and Canadian supermarket retailers, including three of the top-five US chains, rely on PuriCore's products to extend shelf-life and to address cross-contamination for fresh produce and flowers. FloraFresh is used to improve the quality and shelf-life of high-margin floral products as well as to reduce the labour associated with cleaning costs. FloraFresh controls the growth of bacteria, viruses, and spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas, Botrytis (grey mould), and powdery mildew, in floral water to keep floral buckets clean and cut flowers hydrated longer. The Sterilox Fresh System and ProduceFresh offer a natural food-safe rinse that kills harmful pathogens and spoilage organisms, including e.Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, and Norovirus, on contact to keep perishable produce safer and fresher for longer. With extended freshness and shelf-life, these fresh produce products provide labour and inventory cost savings to supermarket retailers.
