The range of equipment produced by Alco includes machines for mixing, forming, flattening, tenderising, slicing, coating, cooking and cooling of meat, poultry and fish products. In addition to the production of individual machines, one of the strengths of Alco is its extensive experience in developing complete lines.
Interfood reported the collaboration will range from individual machines to complete lines.
Interfood added that the company will also help with its existing product offering, adding further capabilities to Interfood’s Preparation Division and Cooking & Cooling/Pasteurisation Division.
Commenting on the setting-up of the new relationship between Interfood and Alco, Mark Bishop, joint managing director of Interfood, said: "We’re delighted to announce this new development and look forward to working with Alco and to introducing the opportunities this brings for our customers.
"As with any new distributorship that we take on at Interfood, we will be backing it with a dedicated team of Interfood engineers to ensure that the service and support is there to maximise the potential of the equipment. And, as is the case with the wide range of food processing machines that we already offer, the two food technologists we employ are available to assist with new product ideas."
