Apple, Pear and Stone Fruit Technology

GP Graders is an industry hot-house for Research and Development. With approximately 90% of our R&D projects embarked on becoming commercially successful. The entire culture of our company revolves around innovation and development of practical and market driven solutions. A brief list from the hundreds of innovations we have bought to the market in apples, pears and stone fruit include:

• Apple defect grading is the newest and most exciting advance in apple grading for many years.
• We were the first to bring apple tray fillers to the market,
• Our hot water tanks prior to waxing to obtain a better wax adherence to fruit,
• GP Graders are leaders in innovative solutions for each market we participate in. We will not enter a market unless we have something truly unique and beneficial to offer our customers.

And those solutions must either:

• drive down costs through improved efficiency,
• increase profit through improved product presentation and refined grading parameters,
• be a lower cost alternative to what is currently available in the market,
• meet a market demand that is not being satisfied,
• reduce or eliminate manual processes to automated ones

Despite being in business for almost 50 years GP Graders are a young and dynamic company recruiting only the most intelligent team members in their field of specialisation. We are fully abreast of the latest technology available and adopt it across our entire product range.
