Depositing and filling machine manufacturer Riggs Autopack is driving forward global business initiatives by exhibiting for the first time at Gulfood 2012 in Dubai, and will be located on the PPMA Stand at the British Pavillion. Over recent years, Riggs Autopack has expanded into new international markets and subsequently seen a rise in export sales. Traditionally this has been due in large part to their established trading partners in Ireland, Holland, South Africa and Japan, and through recently recruited sales agents in New Zealand, Spain and Eastern Europe.

As the company’s international profile has increased, they are now also supplying their Model 1000 depositing and filling equipment direct to an increasing number of end users all across the world to food manufacturers in Sweden, Ghana, India and Jordan, and also most notably to the Sultan of Oman. There are plans in place to further expand international sales particularly in the Middle East, hence Riggs Autopack’s presence at Gulfood 2012.

The company continues to invest heavily in their global marketing plan which has been a great success to date, and firmly believe that by exhibiting at industry renowned exhibitions such as Gulfood it will further enhance their position within the world food production market.

Riggs Autopack’s general manager Nigel Matthews, who will be attending the four day show, comments: “Strengthening our sales team and investing in both our national and international marketing, has greatly contributed to the expansion of our global sales network, and continues to be a positive step forward for Riggs Autopack. This combination of factors has significantly raised our profile and we have seen a notable increase in overseas sales activity.”

Riggs Autopack will also be exhibiting on Stand M240, Hall 20 at the Foodex Show, Birmingham NEC, 25th–27th March 2012. For further information contact Riggs Autopack on Tel +44 (0)1282 440040, Email info@autopack.co.uk or visit www.autopack.co.uk.
