Lingwood Food Services, one of the UK’s leading providers of food-processing equipment, has announced that it has teamed up with Italian manufacturer, Siate srl, to provide flexible tray sealing solutions for the food industry.

Siate, based in Northern Italy, specialises in the development and manufacture of modified atmosphere and vacuum tray sealing equipment. Siate is one of the leading companies in the vacuum heat-sealing sector and in the development of fully automated packaging lines.

The company supplies equipment that is equally relevant to farmers and growers, as it is to food manufacturing and processing companies.

Together the companies can offer a complete solution in processing products in the most efficient and cost effective way, whilst still achieving the highest quality of presentation.

Ian Hope, managing director of Lingwood said: “This has allowed us to broaden our portfolio to provide even more food-processing solutions for our clients and is in line with our policy of working with the highest-quality machinery manufacturers.”
