Compac strengthens UK position with Xact partnership
Compac, provider of integrated post-harvest solutions and services to the global fresh produce industry from New Zealand, announces an exciting new partnership with Xact, one of the United Kingdom’s leading integrated solution providers and a specialist in packaging and marking equipment.
The partnership combines Compac’s award-winning Spectrim grading technology with Xact’s best-in-class solutions and offerings, which include Giro’s fresh produce packaging equipment.
Together, the organisations can provide industry leading fruit sorting and packaging solutions that deliver unrivalled quality and consistent fresh produce to the demanding retail market in the United Kingdom.
Compac CEO Mike Riley says that he’s thrilled to form a strategic partnership with Xact. “Compac and Xact recognise the emerging automation opportunities in the United Kingdom repack sector. In combination with Xact, our solutions are tried, tested and proven in some of the most advanced packaging lines in the world and we can’t wait to initiate these solutions with Xact in the United Kingdom.”
Xact managing director David Hughes says this partnership marks the start of an exciting relationship. “We feel this generates tremendous value for both parties. We have developed strong relationships with the major players in the United Kingdom fresh produce industry and we feel the market is ready for the range of technologies provided by Compac.
Compac’s 2017 plans emphasise expansion in Europe and the Xact relationship gives Compac a complementary partner that is locally integrated in the United Kingdom market. The partnership enables customers to create safe, quality products which have high consumer demand.
Riley continues: “We share similar views on the responsibility of our role in the food production industry and both organizations have a customer centric focus to deliver world-class integrated solutions and services.”
