In a significant move to enhance crop storage technologies across Europe, Europatat, the European Potato Trade Association, has welcomed Omnivent into its network.

With operations in over 60 countries and a solid presence in both The Netherlands and Poland, Omnivent is well-positioned to bring its expertise to the European potato industry.
The Importance of Advanced Storage Solutions
Proper storage is crucial for maintaining potato quality post-harvest. Losses due to poor storage can have severe economic impacts on farmers, processors, and distributors. Omnivent’s innovative solutions address these challenges by providing cutting-edge technologies that ensure optimal conditions for potatoes and other crops during storage.
Ventilation and cooling technologies are particularly critical in controlling temperature, humidity, and air quality in storage facilities. These factors directly influence the shelf life and marketability of potatoes. Omnivent’s systems are designed to minimize spoilage, reduce energy consumption, and ultimately increase profitability for farmers and agribusinesses.

The company’s three main specializations—ventilation, cooling, and wood systems—allow them to offer comprehensive solutions that cater to the entire storage process.
Omnivent’s success is built on continuous research and development. Their R&D department works closely with customers to identify storage challenges and develop innovative solutions that address those needs. This approach ensures that their technologies remain at the forefront of agricultural storage.
