Habasit's spiral conveyor launches at Foodex

FOODEX MEATEX BIRMINGHAM NEC, 6 - 9 April 2008 STAND T308, HALL 18

Habasit Rossi Ltd will unveil an upward moving spiral conveyor belt from its KVP range at the Foodex Meatex show in April.

As the leading conveyor belt specialist, Habasit Rossi is very proud to be showcasing its latest addition to its product range for the first time to a UK audience and will be demonstrating the space saving qualities this belt can provide for manufacturers.

Other key benefits of the spiral belts will be made apparent to visitors to the show, which will include improved product yields due to its special non-stick properties, easy maintenance and increased product throughput due to the greater loading capacity of its lighter, but stronger belts.

In addition to the spiral conveyor belt, visitors to Foodex Meatex will see Habasit Rossi's largest ever presence, displaying the company's latest belt technology, its history and highlighting its progression to where it is today.

The company has also brought out a new gearmotor which is a standard fit and is comparable to other products on the market. Habasit Rossi surpasses its competition by being able to promise a short delivery time of 24 hours, as well as offering a three year guarantee for all its Standardfit gearmotors.

Those visiting the stand will also be able to get a real sense of Habasit Rossi's customer care programme, which will be one of the company's key messages throughout the exhibition. Its focus will be on its 24/7 service promise which is given every day of the year.

Standing out from its competitors, Habasit Rossi is able to offer a nationwide support network with nine service centres situated around the country. The company offers full technical and sales support with a 24hour emergency call out, which means its customers are provided with a level of service unmatched by any other belt manufacturer in the UK. It is this level of service that has earned the company's worldwide reputation as a leader in the industry.

Habasit Rossi's marketing communications manager Andrew Randall commented: "We are looking forward to the exhibition as it is a great opportunity to send out crucial messages about the company. Many of our target customers will be attending the show and as part of the marketing strategy for 2008, it is all about strengthening the Habasit Rossi brand in the UK to match its global recognition."

He concluded: "Habasit Rossi's ongoing success is attributed to its ability to innovate. This, along with the purchase of KVP, has made it possible to develop an extensive range of solutions, enabling customers to choose the best possible solution whatever their application."
