Kühling Fruchthandel KG with a new look at expoSE 2026:

“In addition to the new ziplock bag, we have once again expanded our range of crop protection solutions”

At this year’s expoSE, Kühling Fruchthandel KG is unveiling for the first time a ziplock bag developed specifically for peeled white asparagus. Developed in collaboration with Carton Pack, this innovation combines laser perforation, a resealable zipper, and an integrated carrying handle into a single packaging solution. According to Lena Klein Kühling, managing director of the Emstek-based company, the packaging is primarily suited for direct sales at farm shops, market stalls, and weekly markets.

Space-saving and customizable
The resealable ziplock closure allows for easy opening, portion-by-portion removal, and resealing. The integrated carrying handle simplifies transport from the store to home. “The laser perforation promotes air exchange and maintains a suitable environment for the asparagus inside the bag; it was further optimized based on initial test results from last season. Another advantage is that, compared to conventional packaging materials, the bags require less storage space and are therefore space-saving,” said Klein Kühling. The customizable printing area provides space for the company’s own branding and product information, ensuring the asparagus is showcased to its best advantage.

New booth concept puts crop protection in the spotlight
In addition to its main booth in Hall 2, Kühling will present its range of crop protection products for the first time at its own booth located directly across from the main one. Klein Kühling: “Our expanded product line includes fleece, films, protective nets, as well as specialty fleece and specialty films. We also offer global sourcing and personalized, expert advice. A particular focus is on sun protection in open fields and tunnels. We are convinced that protection against heat and intense sunlight will continue to grow in importance in the coming years. Suitable solutions are designed to reduce heat stress, lower temperatures depending on the growing conditions, and preserve the marketable quality of the harvest.”

Fruit and vegetable trade forms the foundation of the company
For over 27 years, the family-owned Kühling company has been a reliable partner for gardeners, growers, farmstand operators, and farmers’ market vendors. The company’s product range includes regionally grown berries and asparagus, a wide variety of packaging materials, and protective covers such as fleece and film. “The fruit and vegetable trade remains the foundation of our company; through it, we have come to understand the needs of growers and retailers over many years,” she concludes.
