"This is the first production line put together by FPSA’s Prepared Foods Council, and given the huge interest in alterative proteins, we look forward to showing the Process Expo audience how this line can function and produce one of the most popular products in our industry today,” said Dan Voit, Chairman of the FPSA Prepared Foods Council and CEO of Blentech. “Not only will this line feature some of the most innovative processing and packaging technologies out in the market today, but this line will also feature Industry 4.0 capabilities that will be highlighted during the demonstrations in an effort to help our customer base realize even greater levels of automation which will contribute positively to the bottom line.”

“We look forward to this fall’s show as the perfect platform for food manufacturers to meet with suppliers to explore new manufacturing solutions that can be applied to improve their production,” said David Seckman, President & CEO of the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA). “In addition, by partnering with our new show manager, Messe Frankfurt, this year’s show offers tremendous reach

into new markets, products and technologies which are sure to provide a competitive advantage for PROCESS EXPO clientele. This plant-based nugget line is the perfect example of that. Coupled with valuable educational sessions on this very topic, as well as a wide variety of other critical topics, attendees at this year’s show will enjoy and learn about the very latest in technology.”
