IFE Manufacturing reveals Official Show Sponsor for 2022

IFE Manufacturing, the UK’s dedicated showcase of end-to-end food and drink manufacturing and product development, has announced that it has secured global software company Infor as Official Show Sponsor for the event, taking place on 21-23 March 2022 at ExCeL London.

IFE Manufacturing supports food and drink brands by connecting them with suppliers to elevate their products, improve their manufacturing processes and efficiently scale their operations.

Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to meet with the Infor team on Stand 1619 to learn how the company’s range of solutions for the food and beverage industry is helping organisations innovate and increase productivity, enhancing transparency across the supply chain and improving sustainability whilst laying the foundations for growth.

Alongside its enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution for the food and beverage sector, Infor will also be discussing its product lifecycle management (PLM), supply chain and distribution solutions powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Visitors can learn how industry-specific functionality comes as standard with Infor, simplifying complex processes whilst delivering the depth of insight needed to build more resilient, responsive and agile businesses.

At the event, Infor will be raising awareness of the organisation’s strategic partnership with The Prince’s Trust, a charity that supports disadvantaged young people in the UK. Infor has committed to raise £100,000 for the charity over four years and is undertaking a variety of fundraising initiatives that will ultimately help the next generation live their best lives and get the best start to their careers.

“Today’s food and beverage organisations need complete enterprise-wide visibility and the agility to quickly respond to ever-changing market dynamics,” comments Marcel Koks, Infor food & beverage industry & solution strategy director. “With 40 years of food and beverage experience across more than 1,100 companies, we understand the challenges the sector is facing and have the solutions and expertise needed to help our customers grow their businesses whilst optimising operations and implementing sustainable processes.”

“At IFE Manufacturing 2022, we’ll be discussing how our solutions deliver crucial farm-to-fork transparency and traceability, underpinning sustainable practices that reduce food, energy and water waste,” Koks says. “At the same time, our industry-specific functionality supports ongoing innovation in recipe and formulation development, facilitating product labelling compliance on a global scale. With Infor solutions, food and beverage businesses can handle product recalls effectively and efficiently, while achieving the comprehensive business visibility and resilience needed to manage even the most challenging of supply chain disruptions.”

“We’re delighted to welcome Infor as our Official Show Sponsor for this year’s event,” adds Philippa Christer, Event Director, IFE Manufacturing. “Businesses like Infor are driving progress with a tech-forward and sustainability-focussed approach to supporting food and drink production and are true leaders in a sector rife with innovation.”
