As the nation’s fruit industry gears up for Fruit Focus 2010, bpi.visqueen horticultural products has announced its plans for the leading one day technical event.
At the show, which takes place on the 21st July at the East Malling Research Centre in Kent, the large-scale manufacturer of horticultural films will not only showcase its wide range of technically advanced products but update the industry on a number of new developments from within its business.
Visitors to bpi.visqueen’s stand will able to learn more about progress with an ongoing £5 million investment project at the manufacturer’s Ardeer site. Due to complete later this year, the 12-month project will see the construction of two new extrusion halls and the addition of a new, state-of-the-art, five-layer wide film line.
This line will allow the manufacturer to offer products such as polytunnel films and greenhouse films with an unsurpassed number of performance characteristics.
bpi.visqueen will also be talking to visitors about its latest product research and development efforts, including the sponsorship of two PhD researchers.
The findings of both researchers will be used by bpi.visqueen to inform new product development and to help maintain its technological lead in the international marketplace.
The company will also give insight into a number of new developments including the recent relaunch of its website which now includes in-depth product guides and the findings of numerous research projects as well as the work of sister division bpi.recycled products which helps growers operate in a greener way.
Andy Barber, bpi.visqueen sales manager, said: “2010 is a particularly big year for bpi.visqueen with the launch of new production technology, new products and new research findings all on the horizon. With this in mind, we’re genuinely looking forward to this year’s Fruit Focus and to updating people on a number of important, exciting and majorly beneficial developments."
