Ishida and Heat and Control have joined forces to offer a single supplier solution in end-to-end processing and packaging.

Equipment supplier Ishida, which specialises in multihead weighers, has formed a partnership with Heat and Control, which offers a range of food processing and packaging systems.

A single supplier solution will help deliver maximum efficiencies and throughput, according to Ishida Europe managing director Dave Tiso.

“We have always enjoyed excellent co-operation with Heat and Control, and have already worked together on various projects,” he said.

“The extension of this approach makes strong commercial sense in the many benefits it will offer our customer base.”

Heat and Control president Tony Caridis said the partnership would allow the companies to provide a one-stop solution which combines technical and service resources.
