Type of container developed and patented in Canada for Canadian growers, consumers and retailers needs. They are used now nationally throughout major food retailers in Canada. Vortex Awarded Ontario Premier’s Award for Fruit Packaging Innovation in 2012. The company name, “Vortex” was derived from the Litespeed Vortex bicycle. The owner of Vortex is an avid cyclist and as such, felt the company should be named after this impressive bike.
Function
Lid to cover basket and to secure fruit in basket.
Technical
This product is an innovation done by Mr. Phil Short over 40 years of experience. Mr. Short is a tender fruit grower in the Niagara region, near Ste-Catharines. He is also President of Vortex and owner of NBF Produce Ltd., one of the Niagara Dealer Shippers. NBF represents & markets over 400 acres of tender fruit and has established direct relationships with major corporate chain stores since 1972. Vortex has successfully registered several design patents through its innovative thinking. These designs have resulted in Vortex being a leader in packaging for the local fruit industry The clear plastic allows the consumers to see the product. The containers have flip-up handles for convenience. They are built to withstand being stacked four-high in retail displays. Also, they protect the products because once the lid is snap-closed, the product is no more touch by human hands until it is bought by the consumer and used at home. The lid also prevents other consumers to take products from one basket and top up another and also prevent the fruits from falling out. The lid also serve to maintain moisture levels in the fruit. Short says the help keep the products for about seven days longer than other containers. The baskets are designed for tender fruit (peaches, nectarines, plums, cherries) but also for green house peppers and cherry tomatoes, Brussel sprouts, potatoes and other products.
