Serving as a FPSA Board Chairman 2011-12, Scott Scriven, President and CEO of Weber Inc, opened the show with an official “Welcome!” to the 12,371 attendees who would visit over the next four days.
Fellow fpsa board and executive staff members helped Scriven cut the ribbon and open access to the 400+ exhibits of food processing technology, equipment and related services.
Following a year of careful planning and a hectic weekend of set-up, Weber’s booth was ready to host hundreds of processors who were eager to see the newest in slicing, skinning and robotic technology.
Weber’s new Bacon Slicer 702 was primed and ready for the hourly demonstrations we’d scheduled…
… to illustrate for processors the speed, slicing precision and cost-saving benefits to be gained through use of Weber’s remarkable new bacon slicing technology.
Weber’s new Blade Sharpener SSM…
