A global infant nutrition company has awarded a $40m deal to the Flow Technology division of American multi-industry manufacturing company SPX to supply process systems to its powdered infant formula processing plant in Germany.
The German plant will use SPX Flow Technology's process systems to convert milk and other ingredients into powdered infant formula for exports.
SPX Flow Technology global commercial operations vice president Ross Skelton said the contract further validates the strategic food and beverage process technology acquisitions the company had made in recent years.
"The system will utilize equipment from our APV and Anhydro technologies and will be supported by our engineering teams in Europe," Skelton added.
The engineered products and technologies of SPX, which operates in over 35 countries, are concentrated in Flow Technology and energy infrastructure.
The company's products are currently used by several organizations in various industries, including processed foods and beverages.
