Contronics

In addition, two good relations of Fourtress with great technical innovations from the region spoke. First, Tobias Bakker, Technical Director of Contronics, had an inspiring story about their Dry Misting machines. These ultrasonic humidifiers combat food waste by creating the ideal microclimate for fruits and vegetables in supermarkets.

HubTech/Gravaa

Next to speak was Gertjan van Ginderen, Managing Director of HubTech/GRAVAA, about their revolutionary KAPS (Kinetic Air Pressure System) system that they have developed. This makes it possible to adjust tyre pressure to the road surface while cycling. This system was recently used successfully by the famous cycling team Jumbo-Visma during the Paris-Roubaix cycling classic.

A beautiful, pleasant and successful evening where people stayed till late in the evening talking while enjoying a snack and a drink.
