It will showcase front-of-line solutions from food processing/systems, food safety, engineering, design and construction services and more.

The Processing Zone will showcase improving and newly unveiled technologies for industries like baking and snack, beverage, meat and poultry, dairy and produce, so attendees can source leading front-of-the-line processing solutions — while continuing to solve their packaging challenges. It will also offer targeted education via its processing-dedicated Innovation Stage.
