In Food Manufacture magazine this week, Tim Poster, Professor of Food Structure at The University of Nottingham, highlights the real benefits for the food industry when it collaborates with academia.

Si has worked with Tim and his team in the past on an Innovate UK funded project, exploring the maturation of cheese. The insights from his team continue to help us develop our specialist modular food processing solutions, that are having a positive impact for our customers in this sector.

For example, we have now developed an automated cheese make sheet, that is supporting improvements in product quality and consistency.
