KeepCool develops and manufactures technologies that improve food preservation, extend shelf life and reduce losses during storage, transport and distribution.
Our story did not begin with a technology, but with two real problems that needed a solution.
The origins of KeepCool and BIOethylene
KeepCool was founded in 2015 with a clear objective: to preserve fruit and vegetable products for longer and maintain their quality from origin to point of sale.
Ethylene continues to accelerate ripening even after harvest. Controlling its concentration provides more time, preserves products more effectively and reduces losses throughout the logistics chain.
This first challenge led to BIOethylene: our proprietary technology for controlling ethylene during storage, transport and distribution.
The origins of BIOgermicide
Juan José Caravaca, founder and CEO of KeepCool, faced a situation that changed his understanding of air quality: a close family member needed to remain in an exceptionally clean and controlled environment to protect their health.
That personal concern became a technological challenge: developing a system capable of treating the air continuously, safely and effectively.After years of research and improvement, a technology based on advanced filtration, UV-C light and airborne microbial control was developed.
During the pandemic, an independent laboratory validated it against the SARS-CoV-2 strain. KeepCool subsequently adapted it for cold rooms, processing areas and other food industry environments.
This led to BIOgermicide: a technology designed to reduce airborne microbial load and improve food preservation through continuous microbial control of the air.
Protecting food also means protecting the resources used to produce it, the work carried out throughout the chain and the product’s commercial value.
This is the purpose connecting our history with our future: helping to build a safer, more efficient and more sustainable food industry.
