Handtmann Honored

For Corporate & Equipment Performance

Handtmann was recently honored with top marks as an “excellent modern and innovative” company with equipment that is  “reliable, durable, energy efficient and cost effective” in a rating of decision makers in small-scale and industrial meat processors in Germany by the FLEISCHWIRTSCHAFT and afz journals.  

Speed, precision, reliability and durability were key factors in judging the equipment while customer service and user-friendliness the most important rating criteria in evaluating the company.   While this award is based on the judgment of European processors, “accuracy, dependability and the quality of support customers receive are universally valued,” says Patrick McGady, National Sales Manager of Handtmann, Inc.   With increased market pressure in the United States for quality, safety and operational performance, he sees “more focus on processing precision, lower cost of ownership and service partnerships that let processors more efficiently meet these demands.”

According to Thomas Ott, head of Global Sales at Handtmann, the “survey demonstrated meat producers of all sizes have more than just ONE important criterion when they consider investing in new filling technology. Handtmann has thus always pursued a holistic approach to development which, based on dialogue with customers from all over the world, impressively covers all the relevant criteria. Several years of development work are involved when a new machine, such as the VF 800 vacuum filler series, is developed. During this process, every assembly and every function is systematically analyzed and designed, and then intensively tested. This enables us to successfully build high-performance yet universal machines featuring premium quality.”

"We are extremely proud to receive this accolade and we would like to thank you for your positive feedback and the trust you have placed in us."
