Van Amerongen

What Van Amerongen does

Van Amerongen CA Technology B.V. is a Dutch specialty industrial technology company founded in 1952 and headquartered in Tiel, Netherlands, that designs, manufactures, and services Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage equipment for the post-harvest preservation of fresh fruit and vegetables. Its core product is engineered CA machinery regulating O2, CO2, and pressure inside storage rooms, integrated with the MyFruit Manager — a sensor-driven monitoring and control platform that continuously monitors storage conditions and issues automated commands to cooling and CA systems. The company supports a portfolio of more than ten produce types (apple, pear, mango, pomegranate, blueberry, cherry, kiwi, redcurrant, Chinese cabbage, garlic) with scientifically validated storage protocols developed in collaboration with Wageningen University & Research. All equipment is designed and built in-house at the Betuwe-region facility using high-grade, EU-spec components.

The business operates as a subsidiary of the CA Technology Group, alongside sister companies vQm Vacuum Packaging (modified atmosphere packaging), Fotein (storage and transport R&D), and b-Cat (low-O2 insect treatment). Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time CA equipment hardware sales, recurring MyFruit Manager software subscriptions, and ongoing professional service and support delivered through a global partner network across 60+ countries. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with a channel-partner model, supported by regional sales offices in Noida, India and Melbourne, Australia. The customer base consists of large-scale commercial fruit and vegetable producers facing post-harvest food waste, freshness loss, and energy-cost pressures. Van Amerongen is privately held, with no public funding rounds disclosed; the company's growth levers are geographic expansion into emerging-market horticulture value chains (notably India via PIB programs), the recurring-revenue transition via MyFruit Manager, and cross-selling opportunities within the CA Technology Group ecosystem.

Core offering

Van Amerongen designs, manufactures and services Controlled Atmosphere (CA) / ULO storage equipment — including machines regulating O2, CO2 and pressure — for large-scale fruit and vegetable producers. It also sells the MyFruit Manager, a sensor-based monitoring and automation platform that continuously oversees storage conditions and commands the cooling and CA systems, supported by a worldwide partner network providing remote and on-site service.

Product overview

Van Amerongen offers a unified product portfolio centered on Controlled Atmosphere (CA) storage technology for fresh produce preservation. The core offerings consist of CA Equipment (advanced CA machines engineered to EU standards with O₂, CO₂, and pressure regulation) and the MyFruit Manager (a climate monitoring and automation system with sensors that continuously monitors storage conditions and controls cooling/CA systems). Supporting products include Accessories designed specifically for CA storage, and Service Videos for installation and maintenance guidance. The company is also part of the CA Technology Group, which includes sub-brands vQm (vacuum packaging), b-Cat (low-O₂ solutions), and Fotein (R&D for storage and transport technology). The portfolio works as an integrated system where MyFruit Manager provides the monitoring and control layer that operates CA Equipment to preserve fruit quality and reduce waste.
