SUMMARY:Icefish 2026
DESCRIPTION:Sæplast Location: B40 \nFew exhibitions are as closely connected to the history and development of Icelandic fisheries as Icefish. First held in 1984\, the Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Exhibition has grown from a national industry gathering into an international event for commercial fishing\, aquaculture\, seafood processing\, and related technologies. The 15th edition will take place at Smárinn/Fífan in Kópavogur from 22 to 24 September 2026\, bringing the industry together in a country where seafood remains central to business\, innovation\, and coastal communities. \nIcefish 2026 extends well beyond the exhibition floor. Its programme includes conferences focused on aquaculture and the commercial potential of using more of every fish\, alongside business matchmaking\, product presentations\, technical discussions\, and the Icelandic Fisheries & Aquaculture Awards. This combination gives visitors an opportunity to evaluate equipment\, meet potential partners\, and take part in wider conversations about efficiency\, resource utilisation\, product quality\, and the future direction of the seafood sector. \nThere is a natural connection between Icefish and Sæplast. The exhibition began in 1984\, the same year that Sæplast was founded in Dalvík in northern Iceland. Responding directly to the needs of the Icelandic seafood community\, Sæplast developed insulated plastic containers that offered a stronger and more practical way to protect fish quality during handling. What began as an Icelandic solution to an Icelandic industry challenge has since developed into an international product range used across fishing\, aquaculture\, processing\, storage\, and distribution. Visitors can learn more about Sæplast’s Icelandic origins and international development. \nAt stand B40\, the Sæplast team will meet fishing companies\, aquaculture producers\, seafood processors\, distributors\, and other businesses looking to improve how raw materials and finished products move through their operations. These conversations will cover the full fish and seafood value chain\, from onboard catch handling and landing to production\, cold storage\, and transport. The objective is not simply to display products. It is to help customers identify the right container\, material\, capacity\, and handling configuration for the work they perform every day. \nThe Sæplast range includes insulated fish tubs and containers developed to help maintain temperature stability and protect seafood from unnecessary pressure\, impact\, and repeated handling. Smooth polyethylene surfaces and seamless construction support effective cleaning and strict hygiene routines\, while reinforced designs allow the products to withstand demanding use in fishing vessels and processing facilities. For operations managing internal material flow\, Sæplast also supplies durable plastic pallets and lightweight food-processing buggies. \nChoosing the right handling equipment can affect far more than the movement of fish from one location to another. Container insulation can reduce ice melt and support more stable temperatures. Appropriate dimensions and stacking characteristics can improve the use of storage and transport space. Reliable forklift access and handling features can make daily work safer and more efficient. Durable construction can also reduce damage\, replacement frequency\, and interruptions caused by equipment failure. Over the full product lifetime\, these factors contribute to product quality\, operating efficiency\, food safety\, and total cost of ownership. \nSæplast also supports customers after the initial product purchase. Containers\, pallets\, and buggies can be equipped with tracking solutions such as RFID tags\, barcodes\, and QR codes to improve identification and asset control. Damaged containers can often be restored through maintenance and repair\, extending their working life and protecting the original investment. At the end of a PE container’s useful life\, Sæplast can also support responsible material recovery through its container recycling service. This lifecycle approach helps customers retain value from their equipment for longer while reducing unnecessary waste. \nThe most useful conversations at Icefish often begin with a real operational problem. It may be excessive ice consumption\, damage to valuable catch\, inefficient use of space\, difficult cleaning\, poor asset visibility\, or containers that require frequent replacement. The Sæplast team will be available at stand B40 to discuss these challenges\, review practical requirements\, and help visitors identify solutions suited to their operation. \nAttending Icefish 2026?

SUMMARY:CFIA 2026
DESCRIPTION:Every food product passes through a series of internal handling stages before it reaches its final packaging. Ingredients must be received\, separated\, transported\, stored\, processed\, and transferred between production areas. The containers and handling equipment used during these stages can directly affect hygiene\, product integrity\, employee safety\, cleaning time\, and overall production efficiency. \nThese practical production challenges are central to CFIA Rennes. From 9 to 11 March 2027\, the exhibition will return to Parc Expo Rennes Aéroport for its 30th edition. More than 2\,000 suppliers are expected to present solutions across 50\,000 m² of exhibition space\, covering ingredients and intermediate food products\, equipment and processes\, packaging and conditioning\, and food safety. This broad scope makes CFIA an important working event for food manufacturers evaluating how individual improvements can strengthen the performance of an entire production line. \nSæplast contributes to that discussion by focusing on an essential part of food production that is sometimes overlooked: the safe and efficient movement of ingredients\, raw materials\, by-products\, and finished products within the facility. Sæplast food-processing containers are developed for environments where equipment must withstand repeated impacts\, frequent cleaning\, temperature changes\, heavy loads\, and continuous daily use. \nThe product range supports many types of food production\, including dairy\, bakery\, fruit and vegetable processing\, prepared foods\, ingredients\, beverages\, and other industrial applications. Sæplast also provides specialised handling solutions for demanding meat and poultry processing\, where segregation\, sanitation\, cross-contamination control\, and reliable material movement are particularly important. \nDifferent stages of production require different handling formats. Sæplast tubs and containers provide durable capacity for ingredients\, raw materials\, food products\, and by-products. Insulated models can help protect temperature-sensitive materials\, while heavy-duty polyethylene construction supports long-term use in demanding production environments. \nFor mobile handling inside the plant\, Sæplast food-processing buggies offer a lightweight and quiet alternative to traditional metal equipment. Their smooth movement\, hygienic surfaces\, and ergonomic design can help reduce unnecessary strain while improving the transfer of materials between preparation\, processing\, and packaging areas. Durable plastic pallets complete the handling system by supporting organised storage and reliable movement throughout production and warehouse environments. \nHygiene is not determined by cleaning procedures alone. Equipment design also matters. Seamless\, non-porous polyethylene surfaces are easier to wash and sanitise than damaged\, corroded\, or difficult-to-clean alternatives. Colour options can support ingredient separation and visual management\, helping food processors distinguish between production areas\, materials\, or allergen-handling requirements. Forklift access\, stackability\, and compatible lids can further improve storage\, transport\, and plant organisation. \nDurability also has a direct financial impact. Containers and buggies that crack\, deform\, corrode\, or require frequent replacement create additional purchasing costs and can interrupt production. Sæplast products are designed for repeated use over a long operating life\, helping manufacturers reduce replacement frequency and gain more value from their material-handling equipment. Products can also be equipped with tracking solutions such as RFID tags\, barcodes\, and QR codes to support asset identification\, inventory control\, and traceability. \nCFIA Rennes is valuable because it allows food manufacturers to examine production as a connected system. Automation\, ingredients\, food safety\, packaging\, reuse\, and internal logistics all influence one another. Sæplast provides the durable handling link between these areas\, helping food businesses move materials through their facilities with greater control\, consistency\, and confidence. \nCompanies planning to attend CFIA Rennes 2027 can contact the Sæplast team in advance to discuss their current handling challenges and identify suitable containers\, buggies\, or pallets for their operation.

SUMMARY:Seafood Processing Global 2027
DESCRIPTION:Meet Sæplast at Seafood Processing Global 2027\nFrom 20 to 22 April 2027\, Barcelona will become a global meeting place for the seafood industry as Seafood Processing Global returns to Fira Barcelona Gran Via. Bringing together seafood processors\, producers\, equipment manufacturers\, technology providers\, logistics specialists and buyers from around the world\, the exhibition offers a comprehensive view of the systems and solutions shaping modern seafood production. \nSeafood Processing Global takes place alongside Seafood Expo Global\, creating an event that covers almost every stage of the seafood value chain. In 2026\, the combined exhibition welcomed more than 35\,500 industry professionals and 2\,290 exhibiting companies from 85 countries. Its international reach makes Barcelona a valuable place for seafood businesses to compare solutions\, meet partners and discuss the operational challenges affecting their facilities\, fleets and supply chains. \nFor Sæplast\, Seafood Processing Global is a particularly important event. It provides an opportunity to meet customers\, distributors and industry partners from numerous markets in one location\, while presenting material handling solutions designed for the demanding conditions found throughout the global seafood industry. \nMaterial handling connects the seafood value chain\nSeafood processing depends on more than individual machines or production lines. Every facility also needs a reliable way to move raw materials\, ingredients\, by-products and finished products safely between receiving\, processing\, cooling\, storage and dispatch. \nContainers may appear to be a straightforward part of this system\, but their performance can directly affect hygiene\, product quality\, employee safety and production efficiency. Cracked surfaces\, poor insulation\, difficult cleaning and unreliable handling can create unnecessary costs and operational risk. \nSæplast develops reusable material handling products for businesses that need equipment capable of performing consistently in wet\, cold and physically demanding environments. Drawing on decades of experience in the fish and seafood industry\, the company works with customers across fishing\, aquaculture\, seafood processing\, logistics and cold-chain operations. \nAt Seafood Processing Global 2027\, the Sæplast team will be available to discuss how selecting the right container can improve workflows throughout a seafood operation. These conversations can cover everything from vessel handling and raw-material receiving to factory logistics\, chilling\, temporary storage and transport. \nDurable tubs for demanding seafood operations\nA central part of the Sæplast product range is its selection of insulated and reusable tubs. These products are developed to withstand repeated handling\, stacking\, washing and movement by forklift or pallet jack. \nSæplast polyethylene tubs are designed for applications where impact resistance\, cleanability and reliable everyday handling are important. Their double-walled construction provides strength without the corrosion concerns associated with some alternative materials. Smooth surfaces and rounded internal corners also support effective cleaning in hygiene-sensitive environments. \nFor temperature-sensitive applications\, PUR-insulated tubs help protect seafood and other perishable products during processing\, storage and transport. Effective insulation can help control ice melt and support more stable product temperatures\, particularly where fish or seafood must remain chilled for extended periods. \nChoosing between different tub sizes\, materials and specifications should always begin with the application. Product type\, load weight\, handling equipment\, cleaning processes\, stacking requirements and journey length can all influence the most appropriate solution. The Sæplast team can help customers evaluate these factors and select equipment suited to the actual conditions in which it will be used. \nProtecting seafood quality through better handling\nThe quality of seafood can be affected at every point between harvesting and delivery. Temperature variation\, excessive pressure\, contamination risks and unnecessary handling can all reduce product value. \nWell-designed reusable containers contribute to a more controlled handling process. Appropriate insulation helps maintain chilled conditions\, while robust construction protects the container during repeated industrial use. The correct tub dimensions can also support more efficient use of ice and reduce the risk of excessive pressure being placed on delicate products. \nThese benefits are relevant throughout the industry\, including wild-capture fisheries\, aquaculture\, primary processing and value-added production. They also matter to logistics providers responsible for moving products between vessels\, processing facilities\, cold stores and distribution centres. \nVisitors to Seafood Processing Global can speak with Sæplast about practical product selection for different seafood species\, production volumes and handling environments. The objective is not simply to choose a container that holds the required volume. It is to find a solution that supports product quality while fitting naturally into the wider operation. \nPallets\, buggies and complete handling systems\nEfficient material handling often requires more than tubs alone. Sæplast also provides durable plastic pallets developed for food-industry applications where hygiene\, strength and repeatability are important. \nPlastic pallets avoid the splinters\, loose nails and moisture absorption associated with wooden alternatives. They can be washed repeatedly and incorporated into controlled hygiene programmes\, making them suitable for processing plants\, cold stores and distribution environments. \nThe Sæplast range of material handling buggies supports the movement of food\, ingredients and by-products within production facilities. Their mobile format can help employees transfer materials efficiently between workstations while reducing unnecessary manual handling. \nBy considering tubs\, pallets\, buggies\, lids and accessories as parts of one handling system\, processors can create more consistent workflows. Standardisation can also simplify washing\, storage\, stacking and equipment management across multiple departments or production sites. \nLooking beyond the initial purchase\nThe value of reusable handling equipment is determined over its complete working life. Purchase price is one consideration\, but replacement frequency\, cleaning performance\, downtime\, product loss and disposal must also be taken into account. \nSæplast products are designed for long-term industrial use\, and the company provides services that can help customers manage their equipment throughout its lifecycle. \nTracking solutions can support better visibility of container fleets using technologies such as RFID\, barcodes and QR codes. This can help businesses monitor movement\, improve stock control and reduce losses\, particularly when tubs travel between vessels\, suppliers\, factories and logistics partners. \nWhen damage occurs\, professional tub repair services may extend the useful life of suitable products. This can reduce the need for premature replacement and help businesses gain more value from their existing fleet. \nAt the end of a product’s usable life\, Sæplast can also support responsible material recovery through its recycling services. This lifecycle approach connects durability\, repairability and recycling as parts of a broader reusable system. \nFlexible capacity with iTUB rental solutions\nSeafood production is rarely constant throughout the year. Seasonal fisheries\, harvest periods and temporary increases in demand can create a short-term requirement for significantly more containers. \nPurchasing a permanent fleet for a temporary production peak can tie up capital and leave businesses storing unused equipment during quieter periods. The iTUB rental service provides an alternative by allowing customers to access reusable tubs when additional capacity is required. \nRental solutions can be particularly valuable for seasonal fisheries and businesses managing changing supply volumes. They can also help customers test different formats or manage new contracts without immediately investing in a large permanent fleet. \nAt Seafood Processing Global 2027\, visitors can discuss whether ownership\, rental or a combination of both would provide the most practical approach for their operation. \nReusable packaging in a changing regulatory environment\nThe European packaging landscape continues to change following the introduction of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation\, commonly known as PPWR. The regulation entered into force in February 2025 and became generally applicable in August 2026. \nFor seafood businesses operating in or supplying the European market\, 2027 will therefore be an important year for reviewing packaging and handling systems. Companies may need to consider how reusable assets are documented\, cleaned\, tracked\, repaired and ultimately recycled. \nLong-life reusable containers can support a move away from single-use transport packaging\, but durability alone is not enough. Businesses also need systems that keep reusable equipment in circulation and preserve its value for as long as practical. \nSæplast has prepared information to help customers understand how durable tubs\, fleet tracking\, repair services and end-of-life recycling relate to the developing regulatory landscape. Visitors can learn more through the company’s PPWR information centre or discuss their handling requirements directly with the team in Barcelona. \nPractical discussions about real processing challenges\nSeafood Processing Global is designed for professionals responsible for production\, engineering\, maintenance\, food safety\, quality assurance\, procurement and company strategy. The exhibition covers processing equipment\, packaging\, refrigeration\, cold storage\, automation\, traceability and logistics\, providing a useful setting for discussions that cross traditional departmental boundaries. \nThe 2027 conference programme is also expected to feature more than 30 sessions covering subjects including processing technology\, automation\, traceability\, supply-chain compliance\, product innovation and sustainability. \nSæplast welcomes visitors who want to discuss a specific operational problem\, compare container formats or review an existing fleet. Useful conversations can begin with practical questions: \n\nAre containers being replaced more frequently than expected?\nIs equipment difficult or time-consuming to clean?\nAre products remaining at the required temperature throughout handling?\nAre tubs being lost when they leave the facility?\nIs seasonal demand creating a temporary shortage of equipment?\nCould repair\, tracking or rental reduce total operating costs?\nIs the current handling system ready for evolving packaging requirements?\n\nBy examining the complete workflow\, Sæplast can help identify solutions that support safer handling\, effective hygiene\, better product protection and more efficient use of resources. \nSeafood Processing Global 2027 offers an important opportunity to meet the people behind Sæplast and explore solutions developed for seafood operations around the world.
