HISTORY
Welcome to ARECO North America, a dynamic subsidiary of ARECO France, pioneering advancements in fresh product management since 1998. As an integral part of the ARECO family, we specialize in nebulization systems that have been at the forefront of innovation.
Based in Grasse, in the Maritime Alps, ARECO originated with groundbreaking nebulization technology initially developed by IMRA Europe SAS, a research center affiliated with the Toyota Group. Originally designed for cooling vehicle interiors, nebulization evolved into a game-changing solution for the food industry, optimizing humidity control in wine cellars and cheese maturation rooms.
In the early 2000s, our pivotal partnership with Grand Frais, a division of the Prosol Group, marked a transformative era for nebulization. This collaboration propelled the technology into supermarkets and local food stores, revolutionizing the preservation of raw fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat, and cheese. This innovative application not only extended shelf life but also enhanced appearance, texture, and flavors, while minimizing breakage and maximizing marketing impact.
