JBT Corporation will be showcasing its full range of preservation and sterilization systems for food processors at the upcoming MidWest Food Products Association Convention, an event renowned for attracting the participation of some of the biggest brand names in the sector.
Taking place at Rochester, Minnesota’s Mayo Civic Center from November 28-30, the Food Products Association is expected to attract more than 1,000 attendees from across the food processing industry including company presidents and upper management.
Matt Robie, JBT’s Central U.S. Regional Manager for Liquid Foods, explained that the event would feature educational sessions focused around issues that impact processors such as funding, designing processes and sourcing products, as well as networking breaks.
“What’s different about this event is that it features the active participation of many large companies in the food processing sector, such as Del Monte, not just companies on the services side,” says Robie, explaining that this providing a valuable opportunity for JBT to highlight its innovative systems and solutions.
As an exhibitor, the focus for JBT will be on showcasing both its filling and closing systems, which help customers to maintain shelf-stable products, as well as a variety of solutions for effective product sterilization, including retort, rotary and Hydrostatic Sterilizers. JBT’s A&B Process Systems will also be on hand to talk about its process skids, kitchen solutions, storage tanks and vessels.
One area that Robie is keen to highlight is JBT’s ongoing commitment to customer care or aftermarket, which extends long after the initial product purchase. “We help maintain the efficiency of ageing equipment and help increase customer profitability by providing original parts, experienced service and customized upgrade and retrofit kits,” he adds.
JBT will be present at Booth 101 at the MidWest Food Products Association Convention 2017 at the Mayo Civic Center, Rochester, Minnesota from November 28-30.
