Nutritional drinks industry Spanish sector overview two The Spanish food industry machinery sector has a long tradition, being underpinned by the country s powerful agrifood industry, both in terms of raw materials and processed products, and is characterized by the provision of customized technological solutions and constant innovation. The clients of the Spanish food industry machinery and equipment sector come from all the sectors of the agrifood industry. The sector supplies production solutions to existing industries that are renewing their equipment as well as equipment for newly-established businesses. In addition to selling machinery, the sector also provides engineering services. This responsiveness, combined with the flexibility of its manufacturing lines, provide the sector with a market niche that the large international companies in the sector find it difficult to cover due to the inflexible nature of their manufacturing programs. The Spanish food machinery industry rests on development and innovation programs, which currently include variants such as machine safety, food hygiene, functional design and integration, automation and control. The sector is also characterized by the size of its companies: 30% are small businesses, 65% are medium-sized enterprises and 5% are large organizations. The size of the companies means they must maintain constant client service in order to maintain their position in the market, as well as ongoing contact with suppliers, to incorporate new materials as well as new technologies. 2

4 The innovation and development The food industry machinery and equipment sector is intrinsically linked to the level of innovation and growth of the food industry in general, which responds with new products that involve new production, preservation and presentation technologies to match changing consumer trends. The sector therefore relies on a strong Spanish subcontracting industry in areas such as metals, rubber and plastics, software, electronics and electrical material. This facilitates the incorporation of new products and processes. The combination of all these factors, together with clients demands, influences the focus for R&D, which include: traceability, food safety, product hygiene, occupational risk prevention, versatility and packaging. Sector strengths The sector is internationally known for its flexibility and adaptability to the trends and needs of the agrifood and beverage production sector. It is an industry offering both tradition and a high level of technology, and in recent years has invested heavily in innovation and specialization. Due to the higher demand for turnkey factories and customized production processes, a range of engineering firms has come to the forefront in recent years, actively working with the machinery and equipment manufacturers in this industry. Sector associations These are officially-recognized, non-profit entities, which represent 90% of the companies in the sector in Spain.
