IPCO will highlight opportunities for greater baking, cooling and conveying productivity at Gulfood Manufacturing. The Swedish company has a local
Swiss companies Cetravac and bakeXperts will develop solutions together starting this year, under the leadership of bakeXperts – the manufacturer of the UDO vacuum shop oven.
IPCO extends its footprint in China with the acquisition of Nantong Langwei New Materials, ‘Long Goal’. Following the acquisition deal signed on October 13, 2023, IPCO increased its local steel belt production capabilities for the Chinese market.

IPCO is preparing to showcase its steel belts and complementary equipment at iba this October. Marko Leber, General Product Manager, Food, IPCO, shared with us what visitors can look forward to at the stand and the company’s focus for the upcoming years.

Solutions can be customized for various operations, from start-up low-cost, rapid deployment equipment to high-capacity multi-layer systems.
Cleaning is an essential aspect of belt maintenance. It is important in terms of complying with food regulations as well
IPCO launched a new, self-contained laser cleaning system that can be used on-site. It was developed with the aim of lowering cleaning times, which can be cut by at least half, IPCO says, with minimal disruption to other lines.
Energy consumption tops the list of concerns for bakeries. The first place to start looking into potential savings is, of
