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.

SUMMARY:Petfood Forum 2027
DESCRIPTION:A dedicated meeting place for the pet food industry\nPetfood Forum 2027 will bring pet food manufacturers\, ingredient suppliers\, equipment providers\, researchers and industry specialists together in Kansas City from 26 to 28 April. Unlike broader food-industry exhibitions\, Petfood Forum is entirely dedicated to pet food production\, processing\, nutrition\, packaging and market development. \nThe event combines a specialist exhibition with technical presentations\, workshops and networking opportunities. Its international reach continues to grow\, with the 2026 edition attracting 3\,600 attendees and 381 exhibitors from 43 countries. \nBetter ingredient handling starts inside the plant\nModern pet food facilities process a wide range of raw materials\, proteins\, liquids\, powders\, supplements and by-products. These materials must be received\, separated\, stored and moved between production stages without creating unnecessary hygiene risks or operational delays. \nSæplast develops reusable handling solutions for the pet food industry. The product range is designed for demanding production environments where strength\, cleanability and reliable daily handling are essential. \nDifferent pet food formats create different production requirements. Dry\, wet\, fresh\, raw and freeze-dried products may each require specific approaches to ingredient separation\, temperature control and internal transport. Selecting the right container capacity\, construction and handling configuration can help create a more controlled production process. \nBuilt for strength and hygienic cleaning\nSæplast tubs and containers combine robust polyethylene construction with smooth\, seamless surfaces that are quick to clean and easy to sanitise. Rounded internal corners help reduce areas where ingredients or product residue can collect. \nThe containers are built to withstand repeated filling\, emptying\, lifting\, stacking and washing. This durability can reduce replacement frequency and help pet food manufacturers avoid disruptions caused by damaged or unreliable equipment. \nColour-coded containers can support visual management within the facility. Different colours may be assigned to specific ingredients\, recipes\, departments or hygiene zones\, helping employees identify materials and maintain separation procedures. \nPractical movement throughout production\nFor smaller batches and mobile handling\, Sæplast food-processing buggies provide a lightweight and hygienic way to move ingredients and products between workstations. Their smooth movement and quiet operation can make everyday handling easier for production teams. \nSæplast plastic pallets support organised storage and material movement in production and warehouse areas. Unlike wooden alternatives\, plastic pallets do not absorb moisture or introduce splinters and loose nails into controlled food-manufacturing environments. \nTogether\, tubs\, buggies\, pallets\, lids and accessories can form a consistent handling system across receiving\, preparation\, processing\, storage and dispatch. \nMeet Sæplast at Petfood Forum 2027\nPetfood Forum provides an opportunity to discuss practical handling challenges with the Sæplast team.

SUMMARY:Expo ANTAD 2027
DESCRIPTION:Meet Sæplast at Expo ANTAD 2027 in Guadalajara\nExpo ANTAD brings together the businesses responsible for getting products onto shelves\, into professional kitchens\, and through complex distribution networks across Mexico and Latin America. Scheduled to take place from 27 to 29 April 2027 at Expo Guadalajara\, the exhibition connects retailers\, wholesalers\, foodservice operators\, importers\, distributors\, manufacturers\, and suppliers in one of the region’s largest commercial meeting places for retail and HoReCa. \nIts exhibition areas cover food and beverages\, fresh and healthy products\, bakery\, technology\, hygiene\, general merchandise\, and equipment. This broad scope makes Expo ANTAD particularly relevant for companies looking beyond individual products to the systems that support safe\, efficient\, and reliable food supply chains. \nRetail performance starts before products reach the shelf\nConsumers encounter food at the final point of sale\, but its quality depends on everything that happens beforehand. Raw materials and finished products may pass through processing facilities\, refrigerated storage\, distribution centers\, wholesale markets\, retail backrooms\, and professional kitchens before reaching the customer. \nAt every stage\, handling equipment plays a practical role. Containers must protect products\, support hygiene procedures\, fit existing storage systems\, and withstand repeated movement. Poorly designed or damaged equipment can lead to product loss\, difficult cleaning\, inefficient use of space\, and unnecessary replacement costs. \nSæplast provides food-processing containers and handling solutions designed for these demanding environments. The focus is on helping businesses maintain product integrity while improving the way food and ingredients move through their operations. \nReusable containers for temperature-sensitive products\nFresh\, chilled\, and frozen foods require careful handling throughout the supply chain. Changes in temperature\, contamination risks\, physical impacts\, and excessive handling can all affect product quality and commercial value. \nSæplast tubs and reusable containers are manufactured for intensive daily use in food production\, cold storage\, and distribution. Insulated models can help protect temperature-sensitive products during handling and temporary storage\, while robust polyethylene construction provides resistance to impacts and demanding operating conditions. \nSmooth\, non-porous surfaces and rounded internal corners support effective washing and sanitation. This is particularly important for businesses handling meat\, seafood\, dairy products\, ingredients\, prepared foods\, and other perishable goods where hygiene cannot be separated from operational performance. \nDifferent capacities and configurations allow companies to select equipment suited to their products\, available space\, handling methods\, and transport requirements. Stackable designs can also help make better use of warehouse and vehicle capacity when containers are full or awaiting use. \nSupporting movement through warehouses and facilities\nEfficient distribution depends on products moving predictably between receiving\, storage\, preparation\, picking\, and dispatch. Material-handling equipment should support that movement without creating unnecessary delays or manual work. \nSæplast plastic pallets provide a durable and washable foundation for food logistics and warehouse operations. Unlike wooden alternatives\, plastic pallets do not absorb moisture or introduce splinters and loose nails into controlled environments. Their consistent dimensions can support organised storage and dependable mechanical handling. \nFor movement within food production areas\, retail preparation facilities\, and professional kitchens\, Sæplast material-handling buggies offer a mobile solution for ingredients\, products\, and by-products. Their hygienic construction and manoeuvrable design can help employees transfer materials between work areas while supporting cleaner and more organised workflows. \nUsing compatible containers\, pallets\, lids\, and handling accessories can also help businesses introduce greater standardisation across their operations. This can simplify stacking\, washing\, storage\, internal transport\, and equipment management. \nGreater visibility across reusable container fleets\nReusable containers deliver the greatest value when businesses know where they are and how they are being used. This becomes especially important when equipment moves between production sites\, warehouses\, distribution partners\, stores\, and customers. \nSæplast container-tracking solutions can incorporate RFID tags\, barcodes\, or QR codes to improve asset identification and fleet visibility. Better information can help businesses understand container circulation\, reduce losses\, manage inventory\, and identify where additional equipment is needed. \nTracking also supports a more structured approach to reusable transport packaging. Instead of treating containers as disposable items\, companies can manage them as long-term operational assets that are cleaned\, maintained\, returned\, and placed back into circulation. \nBuilt for long-term operational value\nThe cost of handling equipment is not limited to its purchase price. Service life\, cleaning time\, product damage\, storage efficiency\, and replacement frequency all influence the total cost of ownership. \nSæplast products are designed to remain in service through repeated handling and demanding cleaning routines. Their reusable construction can reduce dependence on short-life alternatives while helping businesses limit waste and avoid frequent replacement purchases. \nFor retailers\, foodservice suppliers\, processors\, and distributors\, that durability supports a more consistent supply chain. Equipment that performs reliably helps teams concentrate on product quality\, fulfilment\, and customer service rather than dealing with preventable handling problems. \nDiscuss your food-handling requirements in Guadalajara\nExpo ANTAD provides an opportunity to look behind the finished products on display and consider the infrastructure required to move them safely through the market. For Sæplast\, the exhibition is a valuable setting for conversations about cold-chain handling\, food safety\, warehouse organisation\, reusable packaging\, and distribution efficiency. \nVisitors can discuss their current equipment\, operational challenges\, and future capacity requirements with the Sæplast team. Whether the priority is temperature protection\, sanitation\, internal movement\, container tracking\, or longer equipment life\, the discussion can begin with the way products actually travel through the business. \nPlanning to attend Expo ANTAD 2027?

SUMMARY:AquaNor 2027
DESCRIPTION:Meet Sæplast at Aqua Nor 2027 in Trondheim\nAquaculture continues to grow\, but growth places greater demands on every part of the production system. Fish welfare\, harvesting capacity\, temperature control\, hygiene\, traceability\, labour requirements\, and efficient use of resources must all be managed without compromising product quality. \nThese challenges will be central to Aqua Nor 2027\, taking place from 24 to 26 August at Trondheim Spektrum in Norway. Since its establishment in 1979\, Aqua Nor has developed into the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to aquaculture technology. Recent editions have attracted approximately 25\,000 visitors from as many as 80 countries\, bringing together fish farmers\, seafood producers\, equipment suppliers\, researchers\, investors\, and technology providers from the global aquaculture sector. \nTechnology across the aquaculture value chain\nAqua Nor covers far more than farming equipment. The exhibition presents systems and services connected to breeding\, feed\, fish health\, biomass control\, cage technology\, vessels\, harvesting\, processing\, logistics\, and seafood handling. \nThe 2027 exhibition will extend across Trondheim Spektrum and the surrounding outdoor areas. Aqua Nor also provides an on-water exhibition close to the main venue\, allowing vessels\, cages\, feed barges\, and other floating installations to be demonstrated in the environment for which they were developed. \nThis combination makes Aqua Nor a practical place to compare technologies and examine how different parts of an aquaculture operation work together. It also creates opportunities to discuss the less visible equipment that connects harvesting\, processing\, storage\, and transport. \nProtecting quality after harvesting\nThe condition of farmed fish can change quickly once harvesting begins. Time\, temperature\, physical handling\, hygiene\, and the number of transfers between pieces of equipment can all influence the quality and value of the final product. \nReliable containers help establish greater control during these critical stages. They can be used to separate batches\, move chilled raw materials\, manage ingredients and by-products\, and transfer seafood safely between harvesting\, processing\, storage\, and dispatch. \nSæplast has more than four decades of experience developing equipment for demanding fish and seafood operations. This experience is reflected in products designed to perform in cold\, wet\, and physically demanding environments where strength\, hygiene\, and dependable handling are essential. \nInsulated containers for aquaculture and seafood handling\nSæplast tubs and insulated containers are developed for repeated industrial use. Their robust construction helps them withstand impacts\, forklift handling\, stacking\, washing\, and the demands of continuous daily operation. \nInsulation can help maintain more stable product temperatures and reduce ice melt during handling and storage. This is particularly valuable when harvested fish or temperature-sensitive materials must remain chilled while waiting for processing or transport. \nThe internal design of a container is equally important. Smooth\, non-porous surfaces and rounded corners make Sæplast containers easier to clean and sanitise. This supports effective hygiene routines and reduces the number of difficult areas where organic material can collect. \nDifferent sizes\, designs\, and handling configurations allow businesses to choose containers suited to their production volumes\, available floor space\, lifting equipment\, and logistical requirements. The right selection can improve product protection while making everyday handling more consistent. \nEquipment that supports the complete process\nAquaculture businesses rarely rely on a single container type. Hatcheries\, farms\, harvesting facilities\, wellboats\, processing plants\, and logistics providers can each have different requirements. \nSæplast provides a wider material-handling system that includes durable plastic pallets\, mobile food-processing buggies\, lids\, and accessories. These products can support organised movement between receiving\, grading\, processing\, packing\, cold storage\, and dispatch. \nStandardising equipment across different areas can simplify washing\, stacking\, storage\, and mechanical handling. It can also make it easier to train employees\, plan production layouts\, and manage equipment across multiple facilities. \nFor companies operating internationally or moving containers between farms\, processors\, and logistics partners\, Sæplast tracking solutions can provide greater visibility. RFID tags\, barcodes\, and QR codes can support container identification\, inventory management\, and traceability while helping reduce equipment losses. \nStrength designed for long-term use\nContainers used in aquaculture and seafood processing face repeated impacts\, heavy loads\, low temperatures\, frequent washing\, and exposure to demanding working conditions. Equipment that cracks or deforms prematurely creates more than a purchasing expense. It can interrupt workflows\, complicate cleaning\, and increase operational risk. \nSæplast containers are built to remain in service for many years. Their durability can reduce replacement frequency and provide stronger value over the full working life of the equipment. \nSuitable products can also be supported through professional repair services\, helping customers extend container life instead of replacing damaged equipment unnecessarily. At the end of a polyethylene container’s usable life\, it can be renewed or processed through Sæplast container recycling services\, subject to product condition and local availability. \nThis lifecycle approach allows aquaculture businesses to consider durability\, maintenance\, reuse\, and material recovery as connected parts of their equipment strategy. \nPractical conversations in Trondheim\nThe most valuable discussions at Aqua Nor often begin with a specific operational problem. A business may need to reduce ice consumption\, improve sanitation\, protect harvested fish from unnecessary pressure\, move products more efficiently\, or gain better control over a large container fleet. \nThe Sæplast team will be available to discuss these requirements and help visitors evaluate container capacities\, materials\, handling features\, insulation\, stacking\, cleaning\, and tracking options. The aim is to identify equipment that fits the operation\, protects product quality\, and delivers reliable performance over time. \nAttending Aqua Nor 2027?
