IFFA 2025 was a complete success for us – and in many respects the best trade fair we have experienced so far.

From the outset, it was clear: visitors came to our stand with specific projects and focused questions. The quality of discussions was exceptionally high – almost all concerned concrete investment plans and practical solutions. This kept us very busy, and we developed numerous quotations from the wealth of project ideas, many of which have already become firm orders.
Particularly pleasing: we gained new sales partners who not only expressed interest but have already sold their first SORGO systems.
Innovations that leave an impression
Smoking directly in the tumbler – a new development with Menozzi of Italy
Our visitors expected proven technology and, above all, innovations. A true highlight was the presentation of our system developed jointly with Menozzi: a tumbler combined with a friction smoke generator. This makes smoking possible directly during tumbling – a process previously conceivable only in a separate system.
The combination of smoke and vacuum phases enables rapid, uniform penetration of smoke flavour with significantly reduced time and energy requirements.
- No additional smoking chamber required
- Shorter process times, for example bacon cubes in only around 80 minutes
- Lower weight loss
- Finer aroma and uniform smoke distribution
The process is particularly suitable for bacon cubes, bacon slices, pulled pork, marinated poultry portions and diced products for convenience foods. Visitor response was overwhelming; many saw it as a real game changer for their production.
Greater uniformity in ripening and cold-smoking rooms
Also new to the range is a servo-controlled reversing damper system for our climate, ripening and cold-smoking rooms. The damper can move to six different positions, allowing flexible, precise control of air distribution in the room.
The result is exceptionally uniform airflow – regardless of product type and loading. Manufacturers can therefore adapt their processes even more precisely and raise quality to a new level.
Energy efficiency remains a central topic
Alongside innovations, resource conservation was also in focus. Improved fan systems, refined heat exchangers and optimised process controls help reduce energy consumption and operating times without compromising product quality.
Personal contact as a key factor
IFFA 2025 clearly demonstrated that business is conducted between people. Direct exchange with long-standing customers and meeting new prospects were invaluable to us. Positive feedback on our systems and service reinforced our belief that we are on the right path.
