Why plan your Fruit Logistica route before you arrive

Fruit Logistica 2027 opens at Messe Berlin on 3 February and closes on 5 February, drawing thousands of exhibitors and buyers from across the global fresh produce and food processing sectors. Messe Berlin's multi-hall campus spreads across a large footprint, and without a pre-planned route, a buyer can easily spend the better part of a morning retracing steps between halls or missing contacts entirely during peak floor traffic.

The five companies featured here, JBT Automated Systems, Carrier Airconditioning and Refrigeration Ltd, Ridder, Pattyn Belgium nv, and Tummers Food Processing Solutions, represent a cross-section of the supply chain from growing environment through cold chain logistics to packing and primary processing. Taken together they address buyer jobs that frequently overlap on a single procurement trip: reducing post-harvest loss, automating warehouse and packing operations, and sourcing complete processing lines under one supplier contract. Visiting all five in a structured order makes productive use of roughly half a show day.

Why these exhibitors

A route built around adjacent buyer jobs

These five companies are grouped here because their products address sequential stages of the fresh produce value chain rather than competing for the same buyer. A logistics operations manager evaluating pallet transport automation will find JBT Automated Systems relevant, while a produce exporter focused on ocean freight shelf life will spend more time at Carrier Airconditioning and Refrigeration Ltd. Greenhouse growers and project integrators sourcing consolidated climate and water management will want time at Ridder. Plant and operations managers responsible for bulk packing will find Pattyn Belgium nv directly applicable, and potato processors planning line builds or upgrades will want a detailed conversation at Tummers Food Processing Solutions. The route does not represent an endorsement of any exhibitor, and buyers should conduct their own technical and commercial evaluation at each stand.

How to use this Shared Spotlight

Download booth numbers before you enter Booth assignments for Fruit Logistica are published on the official show website at fruitlogistica.com. Check each exhibitor's confirmed stand number the morning of your visit, as locations can shift between the final exhibitor list and opening day.
Match each stop to your buying brief Each exhibitor card in this guide includes a priority signal describing the specific buyer role and procurement scenario most relevant to that stand. Read these before you walk the floor so you can decide which stops are firm and which are secondary if time runs short.
Walk the route in the order listed The suggested sequence below is designed to reduce backtracking across the Messe Berlin campus. Follow the slot order from JBT Automated Systems through to Tummers Food Processing Solutions rather than jumping between them based on hall signage alone.
Reserve time at the end for follow-up notes After your last stop, step away from the floor for fifteen minutes to record your notes and any sample requests or literature collected. Memories and card stacks blur quickly in a large venue, and a short debrief at the end of the route will sharpen your post-show outreach.

Floor-planning tip Block a three-hour window on day one, ideally between 09:30 and 12:30 before peak lunch-hour congestion, to complete all five stops with enough time at each stand for a substantive conversation.

TL;DR

5 stops worth planning

Suggested floor route

Five stops, one efficient walk

The slot order places automation and cold chain contacts early, followed by greenhouse technology, packaging, and processing lines, a sequence that generally tracks from logistics-facing halls toward production-technology zones and avoids doubling back across the Messe Berlin campus.

JBT Automated Systems

Provider of automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems and mobile automation software for material handling across manufacturing, warehousing, healthcare, and logistics.

About

JBT Automated Systems, now operating as FORMOVA within JBT Marel Corporation, is headquartered in Chalfont, Pennsylvania and has designed and built AGV solutions since 1981. The division produces counterbalance AGVs across three payload classes (CB1500, CB2500, CB4500), the mōt.OS® mobile automation software platform, and the Automated Trailer Loader system. Its vehicles handle pallets, racks, and rolls across manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and food and beverage facilities.

With more than 700 systems and 7,000 vehicles installed globally over 40 years, the division brings a documented install base rather than a startup track record. The mōt.OS® platform is notable for coordinating mixed fleets from multiple third-party manufacturers on a single interface, which matters to buyers who already have AGV equipment on site from other vendors. Corporate backing from NYSE-listed JBT Marel Corporation, with manufacturing and service presence in more than 50 locations, supports financing and leasing options for first-time deployments.

At Fruit Logistica Exhibitor List

No verified exhibit or booth assignment for JBT Automated Systems at Fruit Logistica 2027 (Messe Berlin, February 3 to 5) was found during research. Buyers attending the show who source pallet-handling or cold-chain material transport automation for food and beverage facilities may wish to contact the company directly ahead of the event to confirm any presence or schedule a separate meeting, given that the AGV and warehouse automation scope of this division is directly relevant to fresh produce and packaged goods logistics operations.

Ridder

Supplier of greenhouse climate control, drive systems, climate screens, water treatment, labour management and harvesting robotics for horticulture.

About

Ridder Group, headquartered in Harderwijk, Netherlands and founded in 1953, supplies greenhouse technology to growers in more than 100 countries. The portfolio spans the Hortimax climate computer platform, SmartDrive ventilation and screen drive systems, energy and light management screens, and water treatment and fertigation systems including Fertimix Go. The company employs more than 350 people and operates as a family-owned business.

With over one million drive systems installed worldwide, Ridder positions itself as a single-supplier source for the core mechanical and digital layers of a modern greenhouse. Its products use an open ecosystem architecture, meaning the Hortimax platform can integrate third-party sensors and irrigation hardware rather than requiring a closed proprietary stack. The company has also developed the GRoW tomato harvesting robot, targeting labour cost reduction for large-scale protected tomato production.

At Fruit Logistica Exhibitor List

No specific Fruit Logistica 2027 exhibit announcement has been confirmed for Ridder at the time of publication.

Pattyn Belgium nv

Designer and manufacturer of automated bag-in-box packaging machines and turnkey lines for counting, weighing, filling and packing bulk food and non-food products.

BoothA‑406.1

About

Pattyn Belgium nv, headquartered in Bruges, Belgium, designs and manufactures automated packaging machinery for bulk food and non-food products. Founded in 1952 and now operating under the Duravant group following a 2025 acquisition, the company employs around 550 people across six manufacturing sites in Belgium, France, and Spain, with sales and service coverage in North America and Asia. Its machines handle counting, weighing, filling, and packing into pallet boxes, octabins, and crates, serving customers in more than 80 countries.

A distinguishing feature of Pattyn's offer is vertical integration: the company runs its own PE film extrusion division (Pattyn Film Division) to supply tailored bags and film for its lines, and owns a vision-and-robotics subsidiary (Pattyn VISIO NERF) with patented 3D-vision counting technology. It also takes full line responsibility, integrating conveyors, OEM equipment, and AGVs from case erecting through to case closing, which reduces the number of suppliers a plant manager must coordinate.

At Fruit Logistica Exhibitor List

Pattyn's recent Fruit Logistica appearances have centred on automated secondary and bulk packaging lines for fresh produce, including cherries, kiwis, broccoli, strawberries, and potatoes. At the 2026 edition the company presented the RAZIM-51-LC bag inserter, engineered for small fresh-produce crates with an adapted plunger, alongside the DS-41-LC bag sealer built to deliver consistent seals on those same crates. Visitors to the 2027 stand can expect the same product family focus: bag-in-box and XL octabin or pallet-container filling solutions for produce packers, with the MAXIM-21-XL and the CE-21-XL and DS-21-XL line modules also part of the broader portfolio on show.

Can your lines handle my container format, whether pallet boxes, octabins, wooden crates, or wire mesh cages?
What throughput in containers per hour can I realistically expect for my operation?
Do you supply the PE bags and film in-house through your film division, and how does consumables pricing work?
How will Pattyn's integration into Duravant affect aftermarket support, parts availability, and the product roadmap in my region?

Tummers Food Processing Solutions

Complete processing lines and machinery for potatoes, tubers and root vegetables, from washing and peeling to cutting, drying and flaking.

About

Tummers Food Processing Solutions, trading as Tummers B.V., is headquartered in Hoogerheide, Netherlands, and has been building potato and root vegetable processing machinery since 1976. The company grew out of serving the Zeeland potato industry and now designs and manufactures complete turnkey lines covering every stage from destoning and washing through peeling, cutting, cooking, mashing, drying, flaking, milling and packaging. With around 100 employees and offices in China, Russia, the United States and England, Tummers supplies processors across global markets.

Tummers positions itself as the world market leader in potato flake lines, a claim supported by its fully in-house engineering, production and installation capability under one roof in Hoogerheide.
