Sormac range to expand with acquisition of German supplier Foodcons

Established in 2004, Foodcons has grown as a respected manufacturer of its own machinery solutions as well being the official distributor of Sormac equipment for Germany and Austria. After many years of successful collaboration, with Sormac also acting as a distributor for Foodcons, it has been jointly agreed that Foodcons GmbH & Co KG will be absorbed into Sormac GmbH in the course of this year.

With the new collaboration, Sormac customers will be able to take advantage of an expanded product portfolio incorporatig Foodcons’ highly versatile machinery.

Elena Haffmans, Director Business Innovations at Sormac, explains:

“We believe that this change will lead to improved production efficiency, a symbiosis of our engineering efforts and most importantly, an improved service for our existing and new customers.”

Karsten Schmitz, Managing Director at Foodcons, adds:

“We’ve been working closely with Sormac for 20 years now and we’re thrilled that our machinery will be coming under the highly respected Sormac name. We’re excited about what the future holds and look forward to seeing things come together over this year.”

As well as its headquarters and production site in Venlo, in recent years Sormac has opened sales and service centres in both the US and the UK. Establishing Sormac GmbH in Germany is in line with Sormac’s intention to bring the company’s best-in-class technology to a much wider audience.

This strategic acquisition underscores Sormac’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Germany and Austria while continuing to deliver cutting-edge solutions to the fresh-cut fruit and vegetable industry. 

By integrating Foodcons’ expertise with Sormac’s established operations, the company is well-positioned to enhance its production capabilities, optimise service delivery and expand its global footprint. Sormac looks forward to building on this collaboration to serve its customers with even greater innovation and efficiency in the years to come.
