Foodmate US

In the last nearly 7 years, the company has shown an unprecedented exponential growth in the industry and has become the committed and reliable partner of major poultry processing plants.
In 2016, Foodmate secured the largest Cut-up System project in the U.S. Driven by research, paired with unmatched knowledge and decades of experience, it is the company’s mission to innovate, automate and bring cost-effective solutions to the industry.
