Innovative Shelf-Life Solutions Hazel Technologies is recognized for its cutting-edge shelf-life extension products, notably Hazel 100, which has recently been registered in Peru. This indicates a strong potential to expand into new international markets and offers opportunities to collaborate with produce growers looking to reduce postharvest losses globally.
Growing Market Recognition The company's recent recognition as a Fast Company Most Innovative Company underscores its reputation for innovation and impact in reducing food waste. This credibility can be leveraged to attract larger clients and partners interested in sustainable and innovative postharvest solutions.
Strategic Leadership Expansion The appointment of a Vice President of Postharvest Operations and new hires in R&D demonstrates Hazel’s commitment to strengthening its leadership and technological capabilities, creating opportunities for sales teams to introduce advanced solutions to clients seeking cutting-edge postharvest technologies.
Solid Funding and Growth With recent venture funding of over $8 million and revenues between $1 million and $10 million, Hazel Technologies is positioned for expansion. Targeting grower networks and supply chain partners could capitalize on their financial momentum for partnership or procurement agreements.
Global Partnership Potential Hazel’s collaborations, such as with Rickerhill, showcase a strategic interest in operational efficiency for produce brands. This opens doors for sales opportunities around tailored solutions for supply chain optimization and postharvest handling improvements with similar partners.
