Tetra Pak, Krones, Alfa Laval and SPX Flow have launched the Food Manufacturing Technologies Europe (FMTE) initiative. The new coalition aims to promote open collaboration between industry leaders, EU policy makers and researchers to accelerate innovation and tackle common challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The European food industry is facing profound challenges: rising sustainability requirements, increasing global competition and technological transformations. Four leading companies - Alfa Laval, Krones, SPX Flow and Tetra Pak - have therefore launched the Food Manufacturing Technologies Europe (FMTE)<\/strong> into being. The coalition is pursuing a clear goal: pool the sector's strengths<\/strong>, to promote innovation, strengthen political influence and shape a sustainable European food system with minimal environmental impact.<\/p>\n

A unified voice for a fragmented industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite its significant contribution to the global market - the five largest European manufacturers alone held around 15 per cent of the global market share in 2023 - the sector has so far lacked a common voice. The establishment of the FMTE aims to close this gap. The coalition would like to unite companies of all sizes<\/strong> and offers them a platform to become actively involved in European policy-making and to help shape practical framework conditions.<\/p>

Shaping the future through innovation and sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The European market for food production technologies and equipment is to be will grow to over 118 billion euros by 2030<\/strong>. But growth alone is not enough: The FMTE focuses on sustainable innovations - such as digital solutions for waste avoidance and improvements in energy and water efficiency.<\/strong> The aim is to ensure that the transformation of food systems is not only ecologically responsible, but also economically viable.<\/p>\n

The new coalition sees itself as a hub for knowledge, research and politics. The coalition wants to actively contribute to the development of a supportive EU regulatory framework and at the same time develop concrete solutions for current challenges. such as supply chain disruptions or the harmonisation of technical standards<\/strong> provide. Close cooperation between industry, science and political decision-makers is at the centre of this. The network is therefore calling on companies of all sizes to join the initiative and actively shape the future of European food production together.<\/p>\n
