3 Full solutions from a single source Companies that wish to build a new proces sing facility, or refurbish an existing produc tion hall or line, want to work with one supplier that can deliver the entire system, rather than having the trouble of cobbling together machinery from several different suppliers. We see more and more companies wanting to deal with one single supplier, who is responsible for the development and execution of a turnkey project, says Scanvaegts Business Manager, Fish Solu tions, Chris Bjerregaard, and continues Ha ving just one single supplier, provides our customers with clearcut advantages. Firstly, it minimises any potential for error in the interface between equipment. Secondly, it paves the way for a better, safer total solution and more reliable installation of the processing line. Combining expertise in every food segment Food processing companies normally look for integrated solutions on a casebycase or productbyproduct basis. Sometimes, however, this involves using multiple suppliers because each can provide them with indispensable expertise in a particular field. In such cases, expert sup pliers whose capabilities are already well integrated can provide additional benefits in the form of new ideas that arise as a result of expert discussions. Marels Senior Manager, Seafood and Aquaculture Soltions, Runar Birgisson points out. The close partnership between the four companies also means that we pool our RD resources.
