Cold Storage Facility
At Almakúti, delivering top-quality apples, pears, and apricots is our core mission. Our secret? A state-of-the-art cold storage facility equipped with advanced ULO technology (Ultra Low Oxygen). By precisely controlling oxygen levels and temperature, we slow down the ripening process and preserve fruit quality, so customers can enjoy fresh-tasting produce even months after harvest.

2000
In the year 2000, our facility underwent a significant transformation. A 3,600 m² cooled expedition area with two loading docks was added, significantly improving the efficiency of product loading and unloading. This expansion provided an additional 2,307 tons of cooled storage capacity. As of September 2000, our total storage volume grew to an impressive 3,125 tons, of which 2,410 tons are equipped with advanced ULO technology. A milestone that greatly enhanced our ability to guarantee freshness and quality.
2004
In 2004, we expanded again to meet the increasing demand for premium storage. Within the existing facility, we added an additional 1,307 tons of cold storage capacity. This brought our total cooled capacity to 4,432 tons. Of this, 3,526 tons are fitted with advanced ULO technology, 906 tons with CA (Controlled Atmosphere) storage, and 150 tons specifically designed for pear storage.
We also added a 468 m² machinery storage area and a 204 m² attic space, further improving our operational efficiency. This expansion not only increased our storage capabilities but also enhanced the overall functionality of our facility – a major step forward in our mission to deliver lasting freshness and quality.
