OptiCept Signs Rental Agreement with Leading Juice Producer in Costa Rica
OptiCept Technologies (ticker: OPTI) has signed a rental agreement with Mexifrutas in Costa Rica. The company will rent an OptiCEPT® PEF system for several weeks, to increase pineapple juice extraction. The customer will pay 20,000 EUR for the rental period.
"We are very pleased to reach this breakthrough in Central America, which is a key market for juice in general, especially for pineapple juice. We see this rental period as the beginning of a long-term collaboration with Mexifrutas, whose production of juices and dried fruits opens up great opportunities for us. We have systematically worked on the pineapple juice market outside of Asia and received a positive response. Our collaboration with major players in the market is a strength, and this may lead others to follow suit," says Thomas Lundqvist, CEO of OptiCept Technologies.
