Food industry
The food industry is highly influenced by strict legal regulations. At the end of day, we all need guarantees on the food we consume. Therefore, these norms are a major issue for us when developing specific solutions for this industry. Not only in terms of materials that guarantee non-toxic final consumer products, but also in terms of the hygienic design, corrosion resistant of the materials to be used in the cleaning areas.
We have solutions ready to fulfil the challenging requirements of continuous 24/7 operation. The gold standard for measuring manufacturing productivity. Long-life components to keep up with non-stop production processes, taking care of a good maintenance.
Our team of experts, distributed amongst 83 countries, boast the specific expertise to support all the above daily challenges with either standard or customised solutions that are supported by our five technical centres, two of them located in Europe.
Meeting food industry challenges means having automation specialists directly on the factory floor
Diego Mirabelli – Industry Manager Food, Europe
Between 2020 and 2027, the food processing market is expected to grow with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.04% according to Verified Market Search. The industry will have to increase its productivity while simultaneously dealing with a lack of workers and cost pressure.

Maintenance operation (OEE)
Energy-efficient components
Others
Wet areas require elements which ensure durability and a clean design to wash them down easily. Furthermore, hygienic requirements, and food safety itself, demand them to offer high corrosion resistance to environmental agents such as moisture, dirt, chemicals from the actual food.
