TOMRA wins USD 18.5 million contracts with large agribusiness company in the US

TOMRA Sorting Solutions, through the merger of Odenberg and BEST, has in the last three months been awarded contracts totalling 18.5 million USD. The order is for optical sorting and peeling equipment to be used at a new high capacity food processing plant in the US.

Delivery is estimated to start early 2013, and the solutions will be used for the processing of both French fries and associated products at the new plant.

"The acquisition of BEST was recently completed, and we are very pleased to see the first results of the merger between Odenberg and BEST", comments TOMRA President and CEO, Stefan Ranstrand. These contracts are the first acknowledgement of our market oriented strategy, and how the combined technologies of Odenberg and BEST make us a preferred supplier", says Ranstrand.

"TOMRA Sorting Solutions now has an extensive product portfolio of sorting, steam peeling, and process analytics technologies, which was a crucial factor for the customer when deciding for TOMRA", explains Rune Marthinussen, Head of TOMRA Sorting Solutions. "In addition, our global product support organization and track record played a key role in securing this deal", Marthinussen concludes.
