Pack Expo Chicago 2022 was an opportunity for tna to reconnect with US customers and colleagues, and proved to be an ideal platform for the packaging and processing technology provider to showcase, and sell, its latest innovations and solutions.
Technology showcased included the tna robag 3e – the latest iteration of tna’s flagship vertical form fill and seal packaging system designed for increased production uptime, which generated remarkable interest with three systems sold on site.
"We had an exceptional turnout throughout the four days of the show, confirming the growing market demand for innovative solutions," Bindu Panicker, tna brand and corporate communications manager at tna solutions told PKN.
"We were thrilled to reconnect with our customers and colleagues face-to-face after the global pandemic. One of our valued customers – Jose Gomez, chief technical officer, Benestar Brands, joined us on site."
With the latest addition of artisanal fried pork skins to Benestar Brands’ portfolio of natural, protein-rich and keto-friendly snacks, Gomez gave his perspective on current snack market trends in North America and spoke on ways that Benestar Brands has evolved key operations for greater sustainability, efficiency, and output.
With a complete processing and packaging line from tna, Benestar Brands managed to significantly improve its production efficiencies, Gomez told visitors to the tna stand. Sanitary equipment design, reduced cleaning times and an advanced seasoning system boosted accuracy, creating savings, while a heat exchanger helped the brand owner to meet strict regulatory requirements in California.
"Working in close cooperation with Jose and his team, we managed to design a perfect solution for both traditional and crackling pork rinds, helping Benestar Brands meet its business goals faster," Panicker said.
"Pack Expo International once again was a very successful exhibition for tna solutions. We look forward to the next year’s event in Las Vegas with more exciting solutions on display from tna."
