Attendees will have the opportunity to see each step of the production process from beginning to end at this year’s event, taking place September 19-22 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, IL, USA. The following suppliers are participating in the bakery production line:
- CMC America Corp. – Dough Mixer
- Handtmann, Inc. – Dough Former/Depositor
- Praxair, Inc. – Nitrogen Tunnel Freezer
- Intralox – Conveyor Belts
- Mettler Toledo – Metal Detectors
- System Technology Inc – Packaging Equipment

“We are incredibly excited to put on this exhibit for the attendees at Process Expo. We’ve been working on this for months to put a line together that will help food processors visualize how best to produce and package a frozen bulk cookie line. In addition, this exhibit will feature three demonstrations daily where attendees will get the chance not just to see how the cookies are made, but to also ask the experts about each link in the supply chain as it is happening,” said Ken Hagedorn, chairman of the FPSA Bakery Council and vice president of sales at Naegele, Inc.
Demonstrations of the cookie production line will run three times daily during the course of the expo, a chance for attendees to witness all of the components in action, giving them the opportunity to ask any questions about their observations.
“The feedback we have gotten for the announcement of the production lines has been tremendous. Our attendees love the thought of being able to see how the actual product is made and talk with the manufacturers to get a better understanding of the process,” said David Seckman, president and CEO of FPSA.
Over 600 exhibiting companies, spanning 220,000 sqf, will offer equipment, machinery and demos for buyers in all of the vertical industry sectors, including: bakery, grains, seeds and snacks, prepared foods, confectionery and candy. Registration is now open.
