    KEY TRENDS SHAPING THE INDUSTRY

    ELEVATING HYGIENE STANDARDS
    STRICT FOOD SAFETY REQUIREMENTS REQUIRE CLEAN-RUNNING SYSTEMS  

    As regulatory scrutiny intensifies, processors are revamping their sanitation protocols. The industry is seeing a shift towards hygienic design in equipment, advanced cleaning technologies, and stricter contamination prevention measures. These changes are not just about compliance — they're reshaping operational efficiency and brand reputation. 

     

    PRODUCT OFFERING DIVERSIFICATION
    MEETING CONSUMER DEMAND FOR VARIETY 

    Consumer palates are evolving, driving a surge in SKU proliferation. Product innovation continues to be a key strategy to maintaining brand relevance in an increasingly competitive environment. Processors are challenged to maintain efficiency while expanding product lines. This trend is accelerating the adoption of flexible manufacturing systems and quick-changeover technologies, transforming production floor dynamics. 

     

    THE CONVENIENCE REVOLUTION
    READY-TO-EAT TAKES CENTER STAGE 

    The ready-to-eat sector continues its upward trajectory, fueled by busy lifestyles, urbanization and growth in per-capita incomes. These products are also valuable to grocery retailers due to their higher price point. This growth is pushing innovation in packaging, preservation techniques, and last-mile logistics. Processors are reimagining production lines to accommodate this shift while maintaining product integrity and shelf life. 

     

    CUSTOMER VOICES: HOW GATES POWERS SUCCESS

    At Rock Bottom Brewery, exceptional beer starts with the right tools, and we’re proud to play a part in their success. From brewing to cleaning, Gates hoses are critical to ensuring efficiency, cleanliness, and safety. Our lightweight, flexible, and durable hoses eliminate kinking and pressure loss, making the process faster and more reliable.

    DESIGNED FOR FOOD PROCESSING AND CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT 

    Gates TPU expanded the Synchro-Power Flex belt range with stainless steel cord versions. In addition, the T10 pitch is now also available with Aramid reinforcement. This allows the Gates Synchro-Power Flex belt to work in a corrosive environment. Furthermore, Gates can produce the Synchro-Power Flex belt with a food-grade TPU resin, which in combination with the stainless steel or Aramid cord makes the belt versions fit for direct food contact on the back side.
