IBIE Preview: GEA Prepares Oven and Vertical Bagging Demonstrations

Part of Worldbakers’ IBIE SPECIAL EDITION 2022, we interview important exhibitors about what they bring to IBIE, so readers know what to expect at the Baking Expo that takes place between September 18-21, 2022, in Las Vegas. Today we interview Riccardo Piscolla, Bakery Market Manager, GEA.

GEA is excited to welcome visitors to its 2022 IBIE booth, where they will be able to meet with GEA representatives from North America along with technical specialists from GEA’s bakery technology centers in Italy. Interactive visualizations of GEA’s products will be featured. There will be a GEA vertical bagging machine on the premises for attendees to interact with. Visitors will also be able to see examples of many end products produced using GEA’s equipment. Finally, the Exhibitor Stage will feature a presentation from GEA on the electrical tunnel oven demonstrating its capabilities in various applications.  

Emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, labor shortages and automation remain key challenges for the bakery industry. GEA stands out with its leading technology to automate traditionally labor intensive processes to increase efficiency and output while maintaining product quality and consistency, and safety for our clients. Additionally, the current commodity shortages and shipping delays complicate production schedules. GEA works closely with its clients to ensure that the technology can be easily adapted to meet changing needs.
