Demi highlights fresh absorbent pad push at global food exhibitions

Demi Co., Ltd. is using international food trade fairs to showcase its fresh absorbent pads as demand grows for moisture-control packaging in the global cold chain. The China-based manufacturer says its products now reach more than 100 countries and are built to help protect meat, poultry, seafood and produce during transit.

Why it matters: - Fresh absorbent pads are becoming more important as perishable supply chains stretch across longer distances and face tighter food-safety expectations. - Better moisture management can help reduce spoilage, improve package appearance and support retailers that want fresher-looking proteins and produce. - Demi Co., Ltd. is positioning itself as a supplier for that shift, with production scale and certifications aimed at global buyers.

What happened: - Demi Co., Ltd. said it is drawing attention at global food exhibitions as a leading supplier of fresh absorbent pads. - The company was founded in 2003 in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China. - Demi focuses on research, development and manufacturing of super absorbent polymers and related moisture-control products. - The company says its products are used in more than 100 countries across Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Oceania and the Middle East. - Detailed information on manufacturing processes, product specifications and global certifications is available through the company’s official portal.

The details: - Demi says it employs more than 200 people and operates 80 production lines. - The company’s food contact grade absorbent mat for fresh produce is designed for meat, poultry and seafood during the last mile of distribution. - The pad is intended to manage purge, the excess fluid that collects in vacuum-sealed or tray-packed proteins. - The product’s SAP core is designed to absorb and lock in fluid to reduce leakage under pressure. - The top layer is engineered for rapid permeability, while the inner absorbent layer holds moisture in a gel-like state. - Demi says this design helps reduce bacterial growth tied to excess moisture. - The company says the pads also help keep packaging clean and help preserve product texture and firmness. - Demi says its quality system meets rigorous global certifications and relies on proprietary patents. - The company says the mats can be adapted to different sizes and absorption levels for categories ranging from poultry to organic produce. - Demi says quality control runs through raw material sourcing, production and ultrasonic sealing.

Between the lines: - Trade fairs such as the Canton Fair have become a key venue for food-packaging suppliers to prove manufacturing capability, not just present product claims. - The pitch reflects a broader industry move toward data-driven packaging and
