tna has acquired FOODesign, which the latter provides design, installation and service for total food processing plants.
Located in Oregon, US, FOODesign offers fryers and cookers, including kettle batch and continuous fryers, as well as baking and toasting ovens, and specialty roasting equipment to the food industry.
These systems are suitable for use across a wide variety of applications including meat, poultry, seafood, bakery, confectionery and snack foods, says tna.
“With FOODesign providing equipment to many of the top 100 food processing companies in the world, the acquisition gives tna access to all the necessary skills, networks, market knowledge and relationships to provide customers with a new choice in processing equipment – from fryers and feed systems through to packaging and controls,” says tna MD Michael Green.
“Up until now, our business has primarily focused on North America. Our acquisition by tna instantly opens up a wealth of opportunities, giving us access to a global and extensive sales network, and maximizing our ability to service our international customer base more effectively,” says Joseph Mistretta, president of FOODesign.
FOODesign retains its brand and was integrated into the tna group on May 1, 2014.
