Food Control Systems now part of Spiroflow

SPIROFLOW, a global manufacturer of conveying, bulk handling and weighing systems for process companies adds industrial control systems designs to its portfolio as it acquires Food Control Solutions.

“We are very excited about joining forces with Food Control Solutions. In addition to our conveying equipment, we will also be able to draw on the quality, ingenuity and excellent reputation of their automated systems, allowing us to provide complete end to end process solutions for our customers,” said Spiroflow’s UK Marketing Manager, Ben Ayrton.

For the past 15 years, Food Control Solutions has been offering automation solutions to the food and dairy industries. It became a recognized systems integrator for Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation and within two years became an approved integrator for one of the largest food processors in the world. It has also invested in the paint and finishing industries with the purchase of Reflex Systems and Impel Automation.

“We have great opportunities ahead with the combined strength of the Food Control Solutions and Spiroflow teams, allowing us to expand our markets by giving us access to a complete range of products and services that other suppliers will find hard to match,” Ben Ayrton said. “The cornerstone of our success is the ability to design and develop customized equipment to meet the needs of customers. Now we have the capacity to do the same for their control systems.”
