US-based food processing equipment provider Provisur Technologies has acquired MultiTec, a technology leader in autoloading systems, based in Lotte, Germany.
This acquisition further strengthens Provisur's global technology, sales, service and manufacturing base.
MultiTec designs and manufactures autoloading systems that form an important link between food-slicing and packaging equipment.
MultiTec's technology, which is complementary to Provisur's Cashin and Formax Slicing product lines, expands the Provisur's ability to provide modular buffering, positioning, turning, in-liner and overlapping solutions to the global sliced-foods industry.
Provisur CEO Mel Cohen said the increased competition for shelf space has created a need for more creative and appealing consumer packaging of sliced food, which in turn requires increasingly sophisticated autoloading equipment.
"The acquisition of MultiTec is a natural extension to our Cashin® and PowerMax® slicing equipment range, combining Provisur's superior slice quality and portion control with MultiTec's advanced slice positioning capability," Cohen added.
MultiTec will become a part of Provisur Technologies' newly-formed Autoloading Systems business unit.
The management team of MultiTec - Gerd Stratenwerth and Jurgen Bialy - will join Provisur as business unit manager and engineering manager, respectively.
Provisur Technologies offers a complete platform for food processing equipment, including meat recovery, separating, grinding, mixing, material handling, forming, slicing, coating, and cooking.
It also offers and freezing equipment for processing beef, poultry, pork, fish and other food products. The company's brands AM2C, Beehive, Cashin, Formax, multitec, TST and Weiler.
