Tong Engineering, UK vegetable handling equipment manufacturer, is looking ahead to Interpom 2024 event in Kortrijk, Belgium on 24th to 26th November where it will showcase its latest potato and vegetable handling solutions as well as officially introducing the company’s newly appointed French representative, Mathieu Aspar.

Mathieu, from M.A.T Harvesting, brings a wealth of experience in the agricultural sector, having worked closely with vegetable growers worldwide, particularly in France and the USA. His understanding of the industry’s challenges and requirements, combined with his expertise in identifying and implementing solutions, will be invaluable as Tong expands its presence in France.

“We are delighted to welcome Mathieu to the Tong Engineering international team,” said Simon Lee, Sales Director of Tong Engineering. “His close integration with the French market and proven track record in the agricultural industry will ensure that our French customer base receives our high-quality equipment backed by the local service and support necessary to optimise their operations.”

The appointment of Mathieu Aspar is a key step in Tong’s strategy to enhance its service offerings in France. With a focus on delivering dedicated local sales and aftersales support, spare parts distribution, and tailored handling solutions, Tong aims to strengthen relationships and deliver an even higher level of service to both long-standing and new customers in the region.

Visitors to the Tong stand at Interpom in November will have the opportunity to meet with the Tong team and Mathieu, to explore the latest advancements in potato and vegetable handling equipment including fully automated systems designed to improve efficiency through minimised labour requirements, increased throughput and reduced waste; from advanced post-harvest cleaning and grading systems to automated washing, optical sorting and processing lines.

Interpom provides a unique platform for Tong to connect with industry leaders and vegetable producers from around the world whilst demonstrating its commitment to driving progress in the handling sector. With the introduction of a dedicated French representative and a renewed focus on providing its high-level service to the French market, Tong Engineering is poised to continue its growth and success in France. “We are looking forward to welcoming visitors to our stand 101 at Interpom, which has been one of the key industry events in our calendar for many years,” added Simon.
