said Elyse Lipman, CEO.
" We've continuously added new items to meet consumer demand
and market trends, which includes expanding our range of offerings,
introducing new pack sizes, and innovating with different vegetable
combinations to cater to diverse consumer preferences. "
Lipman is particularly excited about some of its newest fresh-cut
products, Lipman said.
Its sliced tomato and onion pack, for instance, offers convenient size
and consistent freshness ahead of grilling season and works perfectly
with retail deli and back-of-house, ready-to-eat items like made-to-order
sandwiches.
Demand for fresh-cut produce, Lipman said, continues to rise at retail,
for a number of reasons.
" The consumer's constant quest for convenient and ready-to-eat
options " is chief among them. " Busy lifestyles and an emphasis on health
and wellness have led consumers to seek fresh-cut produce as solutions
for quick and nutritious meals and snacks. "
Lipman has also noticed an expansion of product variety and availability
at retail as stores are expanding their fresh-cut offerings to include a
wider range of fruits and vegetables, catering to diverse tastes and dietary
preferences.
" Our full line of fresh cut products caters to many different drivers for
fresh and convenient meal solutions. Our dedication to innovation and the
expansion of our product line keeps us ahead of market trends to deliver
value to our customers, meeting their many fresh-cut vegetable needs. "
JBT's line of equipment for the
production of fresh-cut produce
includes peelers, decorers, prep lines,
washers, conveyors and other machines
designed to make the production of
fresh-cut products as easy as possible.
One example is JBT's Magnetic Onion
Peeler. Developed in collaboration with
Gillis Onions and the US Department
of Agriculture, this groundbreaking
one-of-a-kind peeler offers higher
yields and better quality, while
optimizing cleanliness and safety.
Using built-in permanent super-magnetism
technology, JBT's engineers were able
to eliminate the use of wires, tubes,
belts, and springs, resulting in the most
streamlined, simple-to-operate and easyto-clean
peeling machine on the market,
running with frictionless components.
Most impressive? It can process
up to 120 onions per minute.
The collaboration with Gillis Onions is no
exception. JBT works with all of its business
partners to design, develop, test, and
maintain fruit and vegetable processing
systems for companies all over the world.
