Theatre : Supply Chain, Trade and Policy
Solutions to the effective management of a diverse range of equipment, from multiple, specialist manufacturers, in a fragmented industry.
These are just some of the issues that the foodservice equipment industry faces as it seeks to manage end of life equipment to maximise the asset value and reduce carbon. The session explores how manufacturers can regain their effective management of equipment throughout its life, support customers and generate income from what was once a waste stream.
Join the session to gain more insight into how it might work for your business.
