Francis Ward Ltd. was pleased to exhibit at the PPMA Show at the NEC Birmingham, one of the UK’s leading exhibitions for the processing, packaging, and automation sectors, with a strong focus on solutions for the food manufacturing industry.

The PPMA Show provided an ideal platform to engage with food and beverage manufacturers looking to improve safety, hygiene, and efficiency in the handling of ingredients and raw materials. Throughout the event, the Francis Ward team welcomed visitors to the stand to discuss the challenges associated with storing, handling, and discharging dried and powdered food ingredients within regulated production environments.

A key highlight of the exhibition was the presentation of Francis Ward’s cone-based IBC for dried goods, designed to support controlled, efficient product discharge while helping manufacturers maintain high standards of hygiene and contamination control. The cone-based design enables reliable material flow and minimises product retention, making it well suited to food production processes where consistency and cleanliness are critical.

Visitors also had the opportunity to explore how Francis Ward’s containment solutions support compliance with food safety standards while improving operational efficiency across a range of applications, from ingredient handling to process integration.

The team valued the opportunity to speak with both existing customers and new contacts, exchanging insights on industry challenges, evolving regulations, and best practice in food manufacturing environments.

We would like to thank everyone who visited the Francis Ward stand at PPMA. If you were unable to attend the show but would like to learn more about our cone-based IBCs or other food industry containment solutions, our team would be happy to help.
