At Airiel Solutions, we're driven by a passion for innovation and healthy, nutritious food. We are revolutionising the fresh food industry by extending shelf life and the many benefits it brings.
Suzanne, our Founder & CEO, spent years as a sales and marketing expert in the medical field. Her deep understanding of the challenges posed by unhealthy indoor environments – particularly harmful gases and microorganisms – allowed her to fully understand the potential for this remarkable technology and to create a device and business to enable it to reach its full potential.
A few years ago, Suzanne encountered a remarkable technology that mimics nature's own air purification process. This innovative solution brings the power of outdoor air purification indoors, extending the shelf life of fresh food without the use of chemicals. Recognising its immense potential, Suzanne set out to harness this technology for the benefit of the fresh food industry.
Airiel Solutions is led by two passionate women, each bringing complementary skills to the table:
Suzanne, our Founder & CEO, is a sales & marketing professional, very much focused on our customers and their needs. She also oversees executive functions and administration.
Sharon Crane, our Research Engineer and Project Manager, has combed the world's literature in depth, and is a world expert on fresh food storage. She spearheads R&D projects backed by her extensive knowledge.
Together, they form a dynamic team united by a shared mission: to help the fresh food industry prolong produce quality and freshness, enhance food safety, reduce food waste, lower energy costs, and gain market advantage, consequently improving sustainability and profitability.
Sharon's tireless efforts have been instrumental in confirming the game-changing nature of our technology. Thanks to her work, we've amassed a world-class (and growing) body of evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of our technology.
As passionate food enthusiasts, home gardeners, and talented cooks, both Suzanne and Sharon have a deep appreciation for fresh, high-quality food. They're excited about how our technology can elevate culinary experiences by ensuring fresh and flavourful ingredients.
We're proud to be supported by a diverse Advisory Board with expertise spanning business, agriculture, manufacturing, standards, and research. Their collective knowledge and experience provide invaluable guidance, helping us stay at the forefront of innovation in the fresh food industry.
At Airiel Solutions, we're not just developing technology – we're cultivating a future where fresh food stays fresher, longer, benefiting businesses and consumers alike.
