WELCOME TO ATLANTA ONCE AGAIN
WELCOME TO YOUR INNOVATION DESTINATION!
IN THIS EDITION:
By Scott Hazenbroek | President, Foodmate US
We are always excited to start off the new year by exhibiting at IPPE. It just seems like
yesterday though that I was writing my welcome note for the 2018 Inside Track! The quote
“time flies when you are having fun” definitely applies to Foodmate!
As I reflect back on 2018, I can only conclude that it was our most exciting and successful year
in our short company history. Foodmate Netherlands has moved into its brand new, 130,000 sf
(12000m 2 ) state of the art global headquarters and manufacturing center. And Foodmate US
has just completed a 30,000 sf (2800m 2 ) building expansion.
Our continued commitment to innovation has been a significant contributor to our record
sales in 2018. Since we have introduced the ULTIMATE Whole Leg Deboner during IPPE 2018,
we have successfully installed 50 machines around the world of which 22 in the United States
alone!
Foodmate continues its expansion, adding another 30,000
sf to its headquarters in the U.S., and the brand new 130,000
sf headquarters in Holland, is now open!
