Marel will open its new training and demonstration facility on 7 November.
Located five minutes away from Copenhagen’s Kastrup Airport in Denmark, Progress Point features 2700m2 of demonstration halls, meeting rooms, a large auditorium, a professional kitchen, and dining and entertaining areas.
The facilities have been designed for showcasing Marel products, staging events, holding meetings, and running training workshops. The demonstration facilities are designed to simulate food processing plant conditions, with 900m2 of demonstration space that includes wet and cooling areas.
The Salmon ShowHow in February 2014 will be the first large scale event to be hosted at Progress Point. At this event, salmon industry leaders from all over the world will come together to discuss the latest trends and key issues in the industry and to see and experience the latest salmon processing equipment.
Theo Hoen, Marel's CEO, said, “At Progress Point we will help customers to increase efficiency, reduce costs and create more value in their industries. At Progress Point we can simulate real food processing plant conditions, making it easier for us to find the best solution for our customers each time. Progress Point will also help our customers to make purchasing decisions as our equipment and solutions will now be on display in one place.”
