MR. AART SCHALK, SENIOR

AND EXPERT IN THE FOOD
PROCESSING INDUSTRY, WHO
LED THE RESEARCH PROJECT.
WHY MORE FOOD PROCESSING
INDUSTRY RESEARCH?
hrough consultancy and
“Tmany discussions with
industry leaders, the supply side of
the market (the equipment manufacturers)
indicated their need for
a more detailed industry report on
the competitive landscape. While
various data sources and reports
are available on the market, including
loads of financial data on Food
Processing, our research is more
qualitative and while it is a little more subjective it gives deep insights into
the relative competitive strengths of the major competitors – which is why
so many companies are now using it,” Mr. Schalk explains.
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN THE REPORT?
The industry report includes results of desktop research; summaries of
interviews with c-suite level industry leaders; and e-survey responses from
people working in the industries of Fish, Poultry and Meat all over the world.
“Chapters around Further Processing and Software were included when it
became obvious that those are the main growth drivers and therefore very
interesting to analyse,” Mr. Schalk says.
