Having worked in and out of the food processing industry many times over in my career, I'm excited to be once again part of such a dynamic industry. Snacking habits across the world are starting to shift. The days of “the bigger the better” are numbered and food manufacturers have started to look at healthier alternatives and reduced portion sizes. tna’s vast portfolio of integrated food processing and packaging equipment is well-positioned to cater to the needs of this changing market. I have no doubt that our future innovations will continue to lead the market as this shift continues.”
