Grow IT and Herbert Industrial have reached a formal agreement which will allow both companies to offer each others products to the fresh produce and other food sectors.
The two companies were eager to bring together the Grow IT average weight software system, with the robust Herbert scales and equipment, and to be able to offer a full after sales and support package to its customers.
Paul Kelsey, Grow IT’s joint managing director, said: “The partnership with Herbert will enable us to provide the level of service my colleagues in the fruit sector require. I originally invested in the development of this system for my own packhouse and it has substantially improved control of my product give-away. I now achieve as little as 250g of overweight in a 10 tonne batch of strawberries.”
Herbert Industrial’s managing director Andy Duncan added: “This partnership brings to our UK customers the best of both companies products and capabilities. Through our network of international distributors we intend to offer our joint solutions to any country.
Future plans are already being made. Herbert has completed development of its Gemini system. This is capable of coding variable, average or fixed weight information onto punnets film lids or labels and will have the ability to provide full traceability.
