Viking is one of the world’s best-established brands in the VFFS (vertical form-fill-seal) field.
An example of Viking equipment that is ideally suited for the poultry processing environment is the VFFS ES-400 model. This ultra-sanitary VFFS unit easily withstands the harshest chemical washdown procedures. This unit is perfect for bagging fresh and frozen poultry products.
Don Esch, president of Gainco said: “We’re pleased to have been named the exclusive authorised distributor to the poultry processing industry in America. The Viking brand is well respected in the packaging field – particularly the ES, Velocity and other machines that are highly suited to poultry applications. The Viking line is a fine fit with Gainco’s own equipment, so we can offer better system solutions as a result.”
Viking and Gainco products will be on joint display at the International Poultry Expo in Atlanta, Georgia, on 24 to 26 January at Booth 4859.
Gainco is a subsidiary of Bettcher Industries, Inc.
