With strong interest from leading Chinese potato processors and growing demand for innovative processing solutions, the exhibition highlighted the potential of what Foodera Technologies can bring to the Chinese market.

For the first time at the China Potato Expo, Foodera Technologies presented the combined strengths of Idaho Steel, Kiremko, Reyco Systems, Tummers and Van der Giessen as one organisation.
Together, these five established brands offer customers access to a wider portfolio of technologies, specialised expertise and comprehensive processing solutions. From individual machines to complete production lines, Foodera Technologies brings together the knowledge and capabilities to help processors improve efficiency, expand production and explore new product opportunities.
And that message resonated. The stand attracted considerable attention, with several companies specifically arranging delegations to discover what the combined organisation could offer their businesses.
While leading French fries’ manufacturers were strongly represented, the conversations in Chengdu revealed something even more exciting: growing demand for a wider variety of potato products.
From fresh-cut and packaged potatoes to pre-processing solutions for vacuum-fried snacks, hash browns and other value-added products, visitors were eager to explore new possibilities.
Particularly encouraging was the attendance of three major potato producers from neighbouring Yunnan Province, each bringing concrete new business opportunities to the table.
For Foodera Technologies, these discussions highlighted the potential of emerging regional markets and the increasing demand for innovative processing technologies across China.
More than 300 visitors enjoyed freshly prepared French fries and hash browns, served with five locally inspired sauces. A tasty way to spark conversations about product quality, local preferences and new processing opportunities.
Foodera Technologies leaves Chengdu with stronger industry connections, promising business opportunities and fresh momentum in the Chinese potato processing market.
