Unbeatable alliance providing sensor-based sorting solutions for the food market

TOMRA Sorting Solutions has unified two champions to become undoubtedly the preferred supplier for the food market's sensor-based sorting needs.

ODENBERG and BEST have joined forces within TOMRA Sorting Solutions, to provide and develop technologies for sorting, peeling and process analysis. This powerful alliance has made TOMRA Sorting Solutions / Food truly a global leading provider in its sector.

The merged companies provide numerous solutions for potatoes – washed, unwashed, sliced, diced and cubed – as well as fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and kernels.

ODENBERG joined TOMRA Sorting in 2011, expanding the existing product portfolio by adding the groundbreaking QVision meat analyser. BEST was acquired in June 2012 and is a strong strategic fit, complementing the TOMRA Sorting Solutions / Food portfolio by adding leading technologies, including lasers. Equally, BEST now has access to all TOMRA Sorting Solutions’ sensor-based systems.

Two champions in the food sorting industry combined!

These unrivalled strengths will enable TOMRA Sorting Solutions / food to continue developing products and solutions exceeding customer needs in performance, reliability, service and efficiency...but to an even greater extent than before.

Odenberg

ODENBERG was established in 1968 with one goal: to develop and deliver superior solutions for the food processing industry.

In the 1970s, ODENBERG developed the first steam peeler, an innovative technology, with the first system of this type being sold two years later in North America. Since then, ODENBERG has become a leading supplier of steam peeling technology, with 75 per cent of all French fries worldwide now being peeled in its machines.

During the late 1980s, ODENBERG began developing sorting solutions, initially a harvester-mounted tomato system, an application it still dominates today. A number of optical sorting and grading machines followed in the 1990s, the big breakthrough coming with the award-winning Titan in 2005.

Today, ODENBERG designs and supplies innovative world-class sorting, peeling and process analytics solutions. It is particularly prominent in whole product sorting, with significant advantages in the fresh potato and carrot sectors.
