Key Technology will be equipping a new production line at Lutosa, a subsidiary of McCain Foods Limited, with a solution of its optical inspection and material handling equipment.
The contract will feature its Veryx digital sorters worth US$9 million. Scheduled to start up in 2018, Lutosa’s new line in Leuze-en-Hainaut, Belgium, adds significant new capacity for frozen french fries to the production facility.
“Most of the Key equipment going into the new line will be engineered and supplied from our two European operations in Belgium and the Netherlands,” said Jack Ehren, president and CEO of Key Technology.
“Those production facilities have been the target of recent investment to expand our design, manufacturing and service capacities in support of our continued growth in this important region.”
