“We are honored to be recognized by the judges for excellence in food safety, but we are even more grateful for the popular vote that showed support from the Viva Fresh community,” noted Chip Starns, Chief Operating Officer of ScanTech Sciences. The company applauds the Texas International Produce Association for creating the Gateway to Innovation Awards to encourage and celebrate innovation in the produce industry.
Dante Galeazzi, President of TIPA, celebrated ScanTech Sciences’ achievement: “We are proud to have ScanTech Sciences as long-time members and neighbors in McAllen, and we anticipate that they will continue serving as innovation leaders.”
