A Strong Local Presence: CBS Foodtech at Foodservice Australia 2025

CBS Foodtech exhibited at Foodservice Australia 2025, held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from 18–20 May. Located at Stand G8, our team showcased KRONEN fruit and vegetable processing equipment to a highly engaged audience across the food manufacturing, commercial kitchen, and hospitality sectors.

The event drew thousands of industry professionals from across the country, and CBS Foodtech’s stand quickly became a hub for processors seeking advanced, hygienic, and efficient solutions. It was also the first time we introduced KRONEN Australia to the local market, following our recent appointment as exclusive national agent.

Visitors to our stand experienced firsthand the capabilities of KRONEN’s advanced food processing equipment, including high-precision vegetable cutters, efficient salad washers, and versatile mixing systems. These machines are designed to support high-throughput, ready-to-eat production environments, ensuring consistent quality and hygiene standards. Our team demonstrated how these solutions can enhance productivity and meet the evolving needs of the Australian food processing industry.

One highlight was the presence of KRONEN Export Manager Jean-Marc Hammann, who joined us from Germany to help launch the brand locally. His presence further reinforced the global expertise behind the equipment we now supply and support in Australia.

An extended thank you to all our CBS sales staff that attended the event, as well as staff from our Melbourne office:

  • Andy Schurger – Sales Director
  • Mark Ireland – Sales Executive
  • Aaron O’Connell – Technical Sales

From prepared meals and commercial salad production to vegetable prep for foodservice outlets, our KRONEN line delivers cleanability, precision, and flexibility. The feedback we received from the event was overwhelmingly positive — with strong demand across both small-scale and industrial operations.

CBS Foodtech would like to thank everyone who visited us at Foodservice Australia. If you didn’t make it, or want to learn more about our KRONEN solutions, contact us today for a tailored consultation.
