JBT Marel na Mercoagro 2026

At Mercoagro 2026, JBT Marel invites you to explore how to achieve the most value from the least resources. Discover how automation, digitalization, and data-driven insights can take your operations to new levels of performance, quality, and efficiency.

The animal protein sector is undergoing a profound transformation. Labor scarcity, increasing margin pressure, and evolving consumer demands are reshaping how companies operate. With a global presence and strong local expertise, JBT Marel helps processors overcome these challenges through integrated solutions that combine technology, innovation, and applied knowledge.

Automation that drives performance

Labor shortages are a common challenge across all segments of the food industry. At JBT Marel, automation and intelligent systems play a crucial role in addressing this issue — not only by improving throughput and yield, but also by creating safer and more ergonomic workplaces. By reducing dependency on manual operations, processors can allocate skilled labor where it adds the most value, ensuring consistent quality and operational continuity.

Turning performance into profitability

Yield improvement remains one of the top priorities for processors worldwide. Maximizing yield means optimizing every stage of production — from raw material intake to final packaging — while minimizing waste. JBT Marel solutions are designed to deliver measurable results, enhancing profitability and capacity for processors of all sizes. By combining automation with advanced monitoring systems, we help our customers achieve the ideal balance between precision, efficiency, and product quality.

Adapting to new consumption habits

Today’s consumers are reshaping the food landscape. Convenience, health, and product diversity are now top of mind, driving the demand for ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat meals that combine practicality with quality and flavor. Beyond nutrition, consumers also seek authenticity and trust — choosing brands that deliver consistent experiences and transparent processes. JBT Marel helps processors stay ahead of these evolving trends with flexible and modular solutions that allow quick adaptation to shifting market needs. Whether it’s portioning, packaging, freezing or integrated data control, our technologies ensure that producers can innovate efficiently and respond rapidly to changing consumer preferences — without compromising on quality or performance.
