With more than 30 years’ experience, AB Garos is a master of specialist machinery for the food production industry. Project Coordinator Christian Norfjord discussed the evolution of the company. With Imogen Ward.

Drawing from prior experience in the meat processing industry, Swedish-based AB Garos understands the needs and requirements of its customers.

“The founder of Garos owned a sausage factory, and he knew how much potential was in machinery production,” Project Coordinator Christian Norfjord said. “Having that first-hand insight and knowledge was really key to working out how best to serve our customers. Now we have machines on every continent except Antarctica.”

Inspired by the industry, Garos began operating as a reseller of equipment for the Scandinavian meat processing sector. Taking a chance in the mid ‘80s, the company went on to develop its own machinery.

Now under the second generation of management, Garos continues to manufacture market leading technology for the meat industry.

“Our machines fit within our niche expertise,” Mr Norfjord explained. “We have mastered specific processes, from thawing to injecting and tumbling, and all our machines are adaptable to any company’s production process.”

Outshining the competition

Since Garos entered the market, it has evolved its products to meet the developing needs of its customers. The company produces a number of advanced products, including fully automated lines, injectors, tumblers and roller tenderisers.
