TOMRA Food has merged its Fresh and Processed divisions to provide an integrated food sorting, grading and processing solutions for its customers. The company has also developed a new regional business model.
The three areas are Americas (AMS), Asia Pacific (APAC), and Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
TOMRA Food APAC head, Paul Slupecki, said the APAC team aims to bolster their local presence in New Zealand, Australia, India, Southeast Asia and Japan.
“Having a stronger local presence, TOMRA Food’s APAC regional model means we’ll be closer to our customers, which allows us to develop a deeper understanding of their individual needs and provide faster, more personalized services, and tailor-made solutions,” Slupecki said.
It will have a team of around 200 in Australia and New Zealand at main hubs in Auckland, Papamoa and Melbourne as well as remote teams based close to customers across both countries.
Slupecki said having an APAC team means the company is better positioned to “better understand and deliver to the local needs and dynamics of their customers”.
TOMRA Food APAC team will have sales, service, customer delivery, and support functions, as well as R&D.
