Ripen Fruit, Naturally.
Ethylene. It’s all we’ve done for 50 years, so your ripening operations are our exclusive focus.
We revolutionized the fresh produce industry when we invented a system that creates ethylene in ripening and degreening rooms. Apply natural ethylene safely, efficiently, economically, and with no residues. We have authorized products and take ripening seriously - let us help today.
The Original
Catalytic Generator
Ethylene for ripening and degreening - we invented and patented the first ethylene generator. Today, we manufacture ethylene systems to meet the needs of any ripening or degreening operation. Ours are the only ones to be certified by both UL® and TÜV. Trust the original - we’ve been doing this for 50 years, and we make ethylene application the easiest part of the ripening process.
ETHY-GEN® II Concentrate
Proven, tested, and used worldwide, our Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate meets the stringent requirements of US-EPA, UK-CRD, Netherlands Ctgb, Germany’s BVL, and more. Be sure of the purity and safety of what comes out of your ethylene generator…be sure to use Ethy-Gen® II!
“Our customers want a company that they can rely on for uniformly ripened products. It is our job to make sure we have top equipment to deliver on their demands. As an industry leader, Catalytic Generators fits our needs with reliable, next level ripening solutions.”
