The overarching objective of this alliance is to deliver an exceptional solution to global food producers, enhancing process efficiency and cost management across the spectrum of solid food types.
“It is our belief that this partnership will help meet the growing needs in potato processing equipment but also in the food industry in general. We will be able to offer our customers the tools they need to deliver high-quality products and maintain competitiveness in a rapidly changing industry. Our goal is to combine the leading PEF technology with the market leading food handling solutions available. I lookforward with great excitement to starting our collaboration and introducing innovative PEF systems to the market". Says, Jeffrey Chang, CEO, FPS.
FPS Food Process Solutions (“FPScorp” “FPS”) is a global leader in turnkey equipment for freezing, cooling, frying, and food handling. Founded in 2010, FPS is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
