KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Sept. 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- DECCO Post-Harvest (a UPL
company) is excited to announce the acquisition of IngeAgro, SA (Chile) and
its FullCover Ultra-Low Volume Electrostatic Application Technology. FullCover
electrostatic technology is already widely used throughout Latin America in
blueberry, table grape and avocado packinghouses where it allows for "dry
application" of fruit protection products for high value crops that cannot
receive water-based postharvest treatment.

FullCover® Packing House application of “dry application” DECCO protection
products for blueberries and other water sensitive crops.

Tomas Yakasovic, who founded IngeAgro in 2013, will continue as the general
manager directing further innovation of FullCover and other leading-edge
application technologies.  In addition to FullCover, Yakasovic developed YT
Wine, a precision SO2 dosing system for grapes and wine that is also part of
the IngeAgro portfolio.

Augusto Mengelle, general manager of Latin America at DECCO noted "the
acquisition of IngeAgro will enable us to bring FullCover 'dry application'
technology plus our full product line to many other high value markets which
cannot receive any aqueous postharvest treatments. In addition, FullCover
technology has already been adopted for use as a backpack electrostatic
application of sanitization products in cold storage rooms and for field
sprays."

DECCO and IngeAgro are already developing the next generation of electrostatic
application technology for use on traditional packing lines for citrus,
apples, pears, stone fruit, pineapples, bananas, melons and many others. The
acquisition of IngeAgro is a great opportunity for DECCO's parent company, UPL
to expand its postharvest footprint and further develop the OpenAg concept of
border-free innovation.
