Tna can now offer raw material handling equipment, industrial fryers, freezing tunnels, and vibratory conveyors, and stainless steel packaging systems for applications such as French fries, pellet snacks and potato chips.

Ising has worked for a number of leading equipment manufacturers as well as setting up his own businesses.

He has expertise in blending, grading, and coating processes, engineering skills, and market knowledge. He will help build tna’s portfolio of turnkey distribution solutions for high-density foods such as fresh, blanched, and frozen vegetables.

The appointment follows the launch of tna’s first full washdown vertical from fill and seal system – the tna arctic 3.

With its hygienic design, it is able to run efficiently and reliably in hostile wet and cold processing environments.

Frequent sanitation is essential to comply with stringent global hygiene standards in the fresh and frozen sector.
