OptiFreeze has signed an agreement with BCC, a leading company in the forest industry. The companies will together investigate the possibility to apply the OptiFreeze technology on forest plants.
As a part of its business development OptiFreeze has analyzed the market for possible new areas in using its technology. The company has found that parts of the forest industry are using cuttings for propagation. OptiFreeze already knows that its technology works on cuttings and the company sees this as an interesting business opportunity.
Approximately 8 billion cuttings are produced yearly, and a problem is weak survival for some species. A possible solution to this could be treatment with the OptiFreeze technology.
The companies will now start trials to find out the potential within forestry cuttings and the trials will initially be done in South Africa on eucalyptus.
BCC is a company that focuses on delivery of technical solutions for growing in the forest industry worldwide.
