78. GEA Food Solutions
Technology Centers
We have built the largest, most modern and complete
technology centers in the industry.
What our customers say
“For over twenty years, GEA’s Technology Center has played a role in our decisions
to buy particular machines. Not only did we see the equipment in action, but
GEA’s application specialists also carried out trials with our products. We were
confident the solution would meet our expectations.”
“There’s no substitute for hands-on experience. All equipment suppliers make
performance promises, but through the Technology Center GEA Food Solutions
can actually demonstrate our objectives are achievable. So no surprises, delays or
disappointments after delivery.”
“The food industry has a reputation for being conservative with new ideas.
GEA Food Solutions breaks through this by using its Technology Center (or
seminars) to show us that their innovations really do deliver measurable benefits
to our processes and profits.”
78
79. COME VISIT US TO EXPLORE NEW POSSIBILITIES
AT OUR TECHNOLOGY CENTERS
Our Technology Centers provide a unique opportunity to explore the possibilities
of our solutions and technologies. Our facilities can be used for testing new
applications, processes and techniques, using our solutions and applying our
knowledge. We closely team up with you in our Technology Centers, fulfilling our
ambition to turn our relationships into real partnerships. At GEA Food Solutions
we will continue to expand these centers to offer more possibilities to test your
application ideas or recipes before you invest.

80. Global Services with Local Touch
Taking our service to a whole new
customer satisfaction level.
What our customers say
“This company sells more than just machines - they give us solutions!“
“All from one hand – delivery straightforward from one contract partner.
Therefore we have clear responsibilities, efficient project management, as well as
service from one single source supplier. That enables us to operate extremely fast
and very effective.”
“Maximum product utilization, optimum output, product safety by virtue of the
hygienic machine design, durability, flexibility and future-proofness – these are
the success factors that GEA Food Solutions offers us with the latest technology.”
“Optimum accessibility and a hygienic design are from my point of view the
key factors behind the high degree of product safety as well as short and thus
economical cleaning times.”

81. WE DO MORE
The GEA network of production sites, sales and service offices enables us to
provide global service. At the same time, our global presence allows us to provide
local service.
You always get a voice helping you out. To reduce downtime and to ensure the
highest possible yield, we have made service reliability one of our top priorities.

technologies, giving you full control over your system performance and enabling

stage, no matter where you are.
