From October 13 to 15, the annual PMA Fresh Summit takes place - this year online - and JASA is attending! Presenting from a virtual booth, JASA will showcase their sustainable packaging solutions, complete packaging lines, revolutionary JASA Sleever, and the innovative Bag-2-Paper™. As icing on the cake: JASA participates in the fresh ideas showcase, where JASA exhibits their innovative sleeve packaging for tomatoes.
The U.S. produce industry meets
The Fresh Summit is the event where all the players from the American produce industry come together. This year, the fair takes place as a virtual event, which has the advantage that it is thus accessible to a large audience. After all, it is cheaper to register someone for a virtual event than to have them fly over for an event. Moreover, it saves time, given that it only takes a few hours to tour the virtual stands, as opposed to strolling around a fair for two full days.
JASA presents innovative and sustainable packaging solutions
With over 35 years of experience, JASA became a market leader in packaging for the produce industry. And that's what the company will show at the fair. From its booth, JASA will showcase its revolutionary packaging solutions, including our state-of-the-art Sleever and award-winning Bag-2-Paper™. These innovative packaging solutions are prime solutions for plastic-free packaging, and ideal for high-speed packaging of tomatoes, avocados, apples, kiwis, citrus, and more.
Your reliable partner for complete packaging lines
JASA will also provide information about complete packaging lines at its stand. Whether you are looking for a horizontal packaging line or a vertical packaging line, JASA can handle your complete packaging solution. JASA's packaging lines are flexible: you can easily switch between different sizes, packaging, and packaging materials. Also, JASA's packaging machines have a hygienic design, making them easy and quick to clean. The machines are also easy to use and maintain. And as a system integrator, JASA takes full ownership of your entire weighing and packaging process!
JASA goes live
JASA is a family business with a personal and open approach. This will also be reflected in our virtual booth. JASA will give live demonstrations of the equipment and show many photos and videos of the packaging machines and JASA's packaging solutions. Visitors to the stand will discover all there is to know about weighing and packaging equipment for leafy greens, tomatoes, fresh-cut fruits, and vegetables. Through the live chat feature, visitors can ask questions or have a chat. You can also admire JASA's Sleeve packaging for tomatoes at the fresh ideas showcase.
JASA looks forward to welcoming
all PMA attendees to her virtual booth.

USA (IL): BrightFarms Celebrates Opening of Chicagoland Greenhouse Expansion
The increase in production will support BrightFarms continued growth in the market, including a 34% jump in year over year sales with Mariano’s.
BrightFarms has opened a new expansion to its Rochelle, IL greenhouse. The increase in production will support BrightFarms continued growth in the market, including a 34% jump in year over year sales with Mariano’s.
The 160,000 square-foot greenhouse opened in 2016 to provide retailers with a fresher and more sustainable alternative to leafy greens grown on the West Coast. The company currently supplies over 150 Roundy’s Supermarkets (Mariano’s, Pick ‘n Save, Metro Market) with packaged salads that arrive on store shelves in as little as 24 hours of harvest.
BrightFarms in-store presence, which includes a breakthrough display and references to the Rochelle greenhouse, has become a destination in the Roundy’s produce department.
“For over four years now, BrightFarms has provided consumers in Illinois and Wisconsin with delicious local produce that was grown within a short drive of their local Mariano's and Pick ‘n Save.” said Abby Prior, SVP Sales & Marketing at BrightFarms. “With our increased production, we’re thrilled that we have the opportunity to expand our partnership with Roundy’s and provide more consumers in the region with access to the freshest, cleanest, and most responsibly grown produce.”
Earlier this month, BrightFarms celebrated the 10th anniversary of Mariano’s supermarkets with a series of in-store activations across the Chicago market.
