CrayoNano AS expands European footprint with a new design-in partnership agreement with Turkey-based Gesan Aydinlatma Ve Elektronik Ltd.Sti a regional leader in the design, manufacturing and selling of LED lighting systems and solutions for water and surface disinfection for agriculture and horticulture, under their brand DEMIRLED. GESAN AYDINLATMA has designed CrayoNano's UV-C LEDs into their products and systems for disinfection of fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms that are harmful to plants. This collaboration marks a milestone for CrayoNano as they continue to expand across new regions and agritech, aquaculture and smart farming applications for their UV-C LEDs components and technology.

The utilization of UV-C LEDs for disinfection in food production and packaging can positively impact agritech and horticulture by enhancing food safety and extending food shelf and transportation life. UV-C LEDs effectively eliminate pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, on food surfaces and packaging materials, reducing the risk of contamination and spoilage. This technology supports sustainable agriculture practices by minimizing the need for chemical disinfectants, which can have harmful environmental and human health impacts.

By ensuring safer and longer-lasting food products, UV-C LED disinfection contributes to food security and reduces food waste, addressing critical aspects of the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 2. Moreover, this technology can be integrated into various stages of food production, from farm to fork, ensuring that agricultural produce maintains its nutritional value and safety throughout the supply chain. In horticulture, UV-C LEDs can be used to disinfect water and surfaces in greenhouses, promoting healthier plant growth and higher yields. The adoption of UV-C LED disinfection systems offers a powerful solution to enhance food safety, reduce waste, and support sustainable agricultural practices, thus playing a vital role in achieving global food security and improved nutrition.

GESAN AYDINLATMA and their brand DEMIRLED have decades of experience in agriculture and horticulture, providing LED lighting systems that enhance plant growth and food production in Turkey, Eastern Europe and Middle East. In 2022, their innovative DEMIRLED UV LED lamp earned them first prize in the plant protection category at the ATSO Antalya Growtech Agriculture International fair, positioning them as an innovator in the horticulture industry. The partnership was the result of successful testing of CrayoLEDs by GESAN's General Manager, Mr. Sitki Mehmet Bozbiyik, with his customers and both fully convinced by CrayoNano's outperforming major suppliers of UV-C LED component.

The CrayoNano-GESAN partnership promises to bring groundbreaking advancements in UV-C LED applications, offering enhanced plant growth and treatment solutions and contributing to the future of sustainable agriculture.
