New Corporate Name Reflects Broadening of Clean Food, Water Technology Offerings
Livermore, Calif. – Nov. 29, 2007 - Novazone, Inc., a leading provider of clean solutions for food and water, today announced that, effective immediately, it has changed its corporate name to Purfresh, Inc.
The name change comes after more than a decade of Novazone’s technology leadership in developing and manufacturing patented, ozone-based solutions for food and water quality and safety. While the company will continue to market Novazone-branded ozone generators, the corporate name Purfresh more accurately reflects the company’s continued focus on the global food and water market and its development of clean solutions that incorporate technologies beyond ozone.
“Novazone was founded by a team of leading scientists and researchers whose goal was to develop technologies that used natural substances such as electrified oxygen - ozone -to replace traditional chemicals in a variety of application environments,” said David Cope, president and CEO of Novazone and now Purfresh, Inc. “Today, the company is viewed as the leader in clean solutions for food and water. We have focused our science, team and clean technology offerings solely on the global food and water markets. Purfresh represents our focus on food and water, along with our expansion of our clean solutions beyond, but inclusive of, ozone, across the entire supply chain, in all parts of the world.”
Purfresh was founded as Novazone in Livermore, Calif. in 1996. Its chemical-free, ozone-based family of products has been approved by the FDA, EPA and USDA to kill water and food-borne pathogens that lead to losses in quality and illness, including E. coli and salmonella. Purfresh’s patented, ozone-based applications are certified organic and leave no residue in or on products; the elimination of chemicals also saves time and money typically spent managing the storage, use and disposal of chemical food and water treatments.
Purfresh will continue to offer its Novazone-branded ozone generators that are used by its global customers to purify bottled, pharmaceutical and personal care products water, along with fresh food. Beyond ozone, Purfresh now extends its protection of food down the supply chain with Purfresh Transportation, which controls decay, ripening and enhances the safety of food in transit. Purfresh has also extended its clean solution offerings from post-harvest to pre-harvest, providing sunshield products that reduce the harmful effects of the sun of the world’s crops leading to better yield, quality and utilization of water.
The Purfresh family of products ensures purity and freshness up and down the food and water supply chain.
