Center West Exports selects Wyma to expand their postharvest carrot line

Western Australia’s Center West Exports has this month selected WYMA SOLUTIONS to expand their postharvest carrot line. Recognising a need for greater throughput while maintaining the quality of their produce, Center West Exports engaged Wyma to develop a solution to suit their conditions and specific requirements. Frank Tedesco founded Center West Exports (and Sun City Farms) in 1989, having begun farming carrots in 1981. Since then, the farms and the businesses have grown steadily to now encompass 1,300 acres of productive farmland including a large packhouse facility processing over 200 tonnes of carrots per day. Their passion for perfection has transformed Center West Exports into a major exporting force. The company exports to Asia, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Middle East, as well as supplying local and Eastern States markets in Australia. “I am very pleased Wyma is able to work with Center West Exports. They have a strong focus on ensuring their customers receive the absolute best produce available. Wyma’s new Mega-Polisher is at the core of our solution. It encompasses the very latest in vegetable polishing technology and I am confident that Center West Exports customers will notice the difference,” says John Roest, Australian Sales Manager, Wyma Solutions. Wyma is currently completing manufacture of this system and is set to install the solution early in 2021.
