Eagle Product Inspection announced it has partnered with six further Channel Partners at Pack Expo; Lakey Packaging, Mid-State Sales & Service, Package Automation Company, PMMR, Solid Design Southeast and Vogel Sales Engineering.
The alliances will boost the firm's US sales and service network, providing increased local product inspection support for food manufacturers around the country.
On display at the tradeshow was Eagle's dual energy x-ray technology 'Material Discrimination X-ray' (MDX) for detecting and removing contaminants in mid-sized, packed products such as pre-packed salads, snack items and frozen vegetables.
"Consumers are more knowledgeable about food safety issues than they ever have been, and participants throughout the food supply chain must take every opportunity to ensure that food products are thoroughly checked for foreign bodies before they reach the market," said Kyle Thomas, Strategic Business Unit Manager, Eagle Product Inspection.
