CATT treatment

Our facility in Sint-Oedenrode is a specialized and approved CATT treatment site. CATT, short for Controlled Atmosphere Temperature Treatment, is an environmentally friendly treatment method against plant pests.

The plants are exposed to a combination of different temperatures, air compositions and levels of humidity during this treatment. This treatment, which we use for our cold storage, is also used as a quarantine treatment for imports and exports.
