Starting out as a supplier of shellfish processing equipment, concerned with automation and labour reductions to ensure added value for our clients, we have a celebrated history of successful development projects, and this has left a legacy of unique machines, patents and expertise across a number of industries. Today, normal workflow includes a high percentage of bespoke projects, from the invention of new process machines to simple adaption of existing ones, all of which require flexibility and imaginative thought from our responsive in-house team of skilled designers, managers and manufacturers.

Over the last three decades we have positioned ourselves as leading providers of services tailored to individual clients’ product and process demands. Having become a relied-upon partner in the initial stages of new product development, we have developed an adaptive bespoke research kitchen plant and advise on processes during the conception of innovative food products.
