Key Technology has announced the launch of its Integrated Solutions Group (ISG) and the introduction of new line integration services.

From pre-engineering and project definition to plant start-up, Key’s new business unit provides complete solutions that can include the integration of third-party products along with Key’s sorting, conveying, and processing systems to meet the specific needs of each application.

Key will leverage its deep industry expertise and strong engineering and project management capabilities to deliver world-class integration services utilizing best-of-breed technologies – all from a single source.

To provide the greatest value, the Integrated Solutions Group is focusing on Key’s core markets – potato strips and chips; vegetables such as green beans, peas, and corn; fresh-cut produce; and pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing.

For customers in these markets around the world, the Integrated Solutions Group can take responsibility for the line or a portion of the line from raw receiving through packaging.

“Offering comprehensive line integration is a natural extension for Key. With 62 years of experience as a leading designer of innovative food processing equipment, we’ve got a unique perspective on how to help customers worldwide overcome a variety of production challenges,” noted David Camp, President and CEO of Key Technology.

“We’re now leveraging this expertise and tapping into our strong industry relationships to create superior production lines in partnership with our customers.”
