Our History
Clean Works was born out of a challenge with apples whereby an entire lot of caramel apples had to be removed from retail shelves causing frustration and financial strain for Ontario apple grower, Paul Moyer. Through a joint venture partnership with a global manufacturer, Clean Works was founded.
We began our innovation journey focused on pre-harvest to post-harvest solutions, which led to the development of our award-winning, gas-phase homogenous technology. Our innovative technology has been rigorously tested, consistently demonstrating its effectiveness in eliminating up to 99.99% of pathogens and food-spoiling organisms, ensuring produce and packaging is safe and fresh.
This proven technology now expands beyond produce to other industries such as proteins, reusable packaging, production lines, and healthcare. We have also expanded our borders, successfully commercialized our technology in seven countries where we are making a global impact.
