Marietta, Georgia (January 20, 2011) – Prodew Inc. is the recent recipient of a federal grant through the Marietta Growth Fund. The grant, established to encourage job creation within the City of Marietta, is the result of federal monies given to the city through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Prodew is the third recipient of the grant since 2006 and was selected among several applicants. Mayor Steve Tumlin presented the grant to Chairman, Itamar Kleinberger and President, Shakeel Merchant during a brief tour of Prodew’s new, expanded facility.

“This grant will enable us to expand our workforce at a time when so many businesses have been forced to eliminate jobs. We are thankful to the City of Marietta for this grant and the opportunity to hire from among the many local applicants,” said Shakeel Merchant.

Prodew is the leading American manufacturer of perishable control equipment for supermarkets and perishable storage facilities. In addition to produce misting systems for fruit, vegetable and seafood displays, Prodew misting systems are used for people cooling in recreational settings which include theme parks, restaurants, golf carts and more. In an agricultural setting, Prodew’s misting systems provide evaporative cooling for poultry, swine and equine applications. Prodew misting systems provide moisture for reptiles, amphibians and other animals in zoo settings. Finally, Prodew has a mobile misting system for use in areas where automated misting is not possible. Prodew offers two types of humidity systems. The first system will maintain humidity and prevent weight loss in meat, seafood and delicatessen displays. The second system, for larger facilities, will maintain relative humidity as high as 98%. In addition, Prodew offers ethylene removal systems. These humidity and ethylene systems are designed for use in cold storage facilities, banana ripening rooms, mushroom growing facilities, bakery proofers, hatcheries and wineries. Prodew also provides energy saving solutions. These solutions include: night covers which help to preserve the cold air in refrigerated cases during non-business hours, NeutraScale, an anti-scalant which eliminates and prevents the buildup of scale and minerals in pipes and reverse osmosis systems which solve hard water problems and eliminate impurities. Prodew uses UL and CE approved components and expects to have NSF certification within two weeks. Prodew is the main supplier of major supermarket chains throughout the United States and worldwide.
