Defugo Americas, Inc.

A food technology company commercializing patented, zero-waste fruit processing systems designed to transform agricultural by-products into premium food ingredients. Defugo’s platform combines proprietary processing technology with scalable infrastructure and licensing models to reduce food waste, improve yields, and create sustainable, long-life food processing assets.

Market Focus

Defugo operates at the intersection of food processing, sustainability, and industrial infrastructure, targeting large-scale fruit markets in North America and internationally. Rising demand for sustainable food systems, improved yield efficiency, and waste reduction supports a favorable backdrop for advanced processing technologies capable of operating at commercial scale. Apples, citrus, and other high-volume fruit categories represent substantial, repeatable market opportunities.

Platform and Strategy

Defugo’s strategy is built on three core pillars.

• Deploy proprietary, patented Counter Current Extraction technology that enables non-crushing, low-heat, zero-waste fruit processing with higher yields and premium outputs.

• Develop and own large-scale processing facilities in strategic agricultural hubs, beginning with Washington State, creating long-duration infrastructure assets with strong margins.

• Scale globally through a parallel licensing and royalty model that allows third-party processors to adopt Defugo technology while generating recurring, capital-light revenue streams.

Recent Progress and Growth

• Construction-ready status on the first U.S. owned processing facility in Sunnyside, Washington, the center of U.S. apple production.

• Secured USDA-backed financing and established long-term supply, equipment, EPC, offtake, and insurance partnerships with blue-chip counterparties.

• Continued advancement of licensing discussions and retrofit opportunities across North America and international markets.

Partnerships and Strategic Positioning

Defugo benefits from operating within established agricultural regions with existing infrastructure and deep supply chains. Its partner-driven model creates multiple paths to value through owned plants, licensing agreements, and royalty annuities. By combining infrastructure ownership with scalable technology deployment, Defugo balances growth potential with capital efficiency.

Leadership and Capital Strategy

Defugo is led by an experienced management team with deep backgrounds in agriculture, food processing, strategy, and public markets. Leadership remains focused on disciplined capital allocation, operational execution, and long-term value creation through both asset ownership and recurring royalty revenue.

Near-Term Catalysts

• Commencement of construction and execution milestones at the Sunnyside processing facility.

• Progress on licensing and royalty agreements with additional fruit processors.

• Expansion planning for additional owned plants and retrofit opportunities.

• Continued alignment with sustainability-driven food and agriculture initiatives.

Conclusion

Defugo enters its next phase with a construction-ready flagship facility, proven proprietary technology, and a scalable business model spanning infrastructure ownership and licensing. With disciplined execution, strong partners, and exposure to long-term food system trends, the company is positioned to build durable value across global fruit processing markets.
