London: Europe’s fruit and vegetable showcase


Sacmi to exhibit two portable NIR case quality control units

For two days – from 21st to 22nd October - London will be hosting the World Fruit & Vegetable Show, the key international showcase dedicated to the fruit and vegetable industry. A mouth-watering opportunity not only for visitors but also fruit/vegetable processing machine producers as they will be exhibiting their wares to potential customers - from large-scale retail chains to food companies - from all over the world.

Sacmi - located on Stand 204, on a 15m2 exhibition area – will be exhibiting two portable NIR Case sorting units. The market leader in vision systems applicable to the fruit and vegetable sector, Sacmi Imola has successfully tested this technology on major international markets. Featuring technology able to precision-detect – without damaging the fruit – the internal parameters of the fruit, the NIR Case is extremely user-friendly and, above all, easy to transport. It can thus be used with ease on supermarket shelves, in warehouses or directly in the field.

The organisers of this London-based fair expect at least 500 exhibitors to attend, and total floor space to exceed eight thousand square metres. Just as importantly, over 10,000 visitors are expected. This ambitious fair has set itself the goal of organising as many business-to-business meetings as possible, a key objective as fruit and vegetable consumption – and, therefore, the related areas of packaging, logistics and quality control – are expanding in all European countries.
