Tomra Sorting NV is an innovative company specialized in engineering, manufacturing, selling and installing sorting machinery for the food and non-food industry. There's no doubt that sorting is becoming more and more crucial. The visual aspect of food already plays a central role in the 'detail trade' (for example, at supermarkets) not to mention among individual consumers. Even in developing markets, where expectations are currently lower, rising standards of living are almost certain to lead to an equivalent rise in food standards. National and international governments and regulators also have a key role to play in normalization. Equally, environmental awareness is growing around the world and particularly in development markets. Recycling is often the rule rather than the exception. As a result, manufacturers are demanding ever more speed, scalability and reliability. The need for better performance and sorting techniques will only grow. Tomra Sorting NV will continue to set the standard when it comes to sorting techniques. Its mission is to be the best not only through its quality and reliability, but also by tackling new areas and coming up with new ideas. That's why the company is constantly striving to develop advanced, innovative and complete solutions for every sorting challenge imaginable.
