UK Enterprise 2020

65 | UK Enterprise Awards 2020 Freshseal Ltd has been providing food processing and packaging solutions for more than twenty years. Its most recent project, Mildtech, winner of an EU seed grant from Horizon 2020, has enabled this company to reach the top of the food equipment sector and contributed to the firm’s recent success at the UK Enterprise Awards 2020. We took a look at this organisation, which is dedicated to providing healthier and tastier food. Best Food Equipment Firm 2020: Freshseal Ltd Freshseal’s core mission is simple; to provide the world with healthier and tastier food. For over twenty years, this Telford-based organisation has been specialising in food processing and packaging machinery, offering complete food processing solutions to customers across the UK. 2020 marks an exciting year of development and opportunity for the firm. Founder, CEO and high tech food production virtuoso Georgios Vanezi has put together an enthusiastic team of industry experts dedicated to sharing the benefits of this innovation. He is instrumental in enabling the organisation to manage their latest, ground- breaking enterprise, the Mildtech project. This project offers a unique technology designed to produce better tasting food that retains its organoleptic and nutritious value, whilst saving time and energy consumption. The Mildtech process goes further than cooking and drying foods more quickly and at lower temperature which doesn’t destroy the vitamin content, texture and taste; artificial intelligence system is also used to facilitate making healthy food accessible to a wider audience. Thus, Freshseal is able to stay at the forefront of the food sector, particularly as the UK food industry undergoes some major transformations as part of Boris Johnson’s ‘Obesity Crackdown’ plans. As people grow increasingly aware of the importance of healthy and nutritious foods alongside the government launching of healthy eating campaigns with more stringent nutritional-based standards we can still rely on the Mildtech process to create healthy, tasty and well packaged, easy-to-consume food despite our fast-paced lifestyles. The potential and exceptional advantages of this product were recognised by the European Union, who awarded the project funding through Horizon 2020, a fund created to finance world-class science and technology. This enabled the project to develop from a simple concept to a ground-breaking service and product. As the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyles through food and nutrition becomes increasingly clear in Britain due to COVID-19, Freshseal are leading the way in providing means of processing healthy foods. Their exceptional technology that sets them apart from competitors will be essential to how we buy and eat food, and we have no doubt that this organisation’s influence is only going to continue to grow.
