When The CEO Of A Major Floral Products Company Tested It, He Became A Believer. Stanley Fitts, CEO of Reeves Floral Products set aside some fresh cut roses, protected half with the Airocide® Bioconversion Technology and set the other half in a control cooler. The Airocide roses lasted 18 days longer than Fitts would normally keep them. The control flowers - not so much.
