Suppliers in the beverage industry have released a wave of new equipment and software solutions. From quality testing to the production line, here are 7 of the latest technologies:

  1. Crown Equipment Corp. revealed a new option for its counterbalance forklifts. The new edition comes with a shorter mast, ideal for warehouse dock and cross-docking needs. Though max load capacities are unchanged, the narrower mast cross-brace increases visibility for safer operation.
  2. Charles Ross & Son Co. introduced a 4-gallon Planetary Dual Disperser (PDDM-4) for free use in the Ross Test and Development Center. The new mixer is best for high viscosities, but the Ross T&D Center houses over 40 appliances for customers to find the best fit for their needs.
  3. Krohne Inc. released six new transmitters in the 24 and 80 GHz range as part of its Optiwave series of transmitters. The transmitters come with a complimentary PACTware device manager for better functionality.
  4. Sacmi introduced the 64-cavity CCM64MB, a new flexible and efficient cavity press for producing plastic caps rapidly.
  5. Kenworth Truck Co. introduced the Bendix Wingman Fusion driving assistance to two models of medium-duty trucks. The technologies aim to mitigate collisions, alert drivers to the speed limit, give warnings for lane departures, and more.
  6. The Comexi ML2 laminates efficiently with a broad range of coating and laminate options. Five interchangeable trolleys keep the machine versatile and effective.
  7. GEA Group’s Fillstar CX EVO system allows fillers to swap seamlessly between products with no changeover times and a reprogrammable control unit that never sacrifices sterility.

MetaNovas says Orphic can generate a CPG project proposal package in about an hour

MetaNovas says Orphic can generate a CPG project proposal package in about an hour

MetaNovas says Orphic can turn a product brief into a complete proposal package quickly; in an internal test it produced one in about an hour versus roughly two weeks of cross-team work (Business Insider).

  • 01Orphic’s most concrete claim is cycle time: MetaNovas says a multi-function proposal package went from roughly two weeks to about an hour on a real ingestible beauty brief (Business Insider).
  • 02CPG teams evaluating agentic AI are simultaneously consolidating systems: 82% of respondents in Veeva QualityOne’s survey said they are moving from legacy or best-of-breed tools to unified platforms, a useful signal on integration expectations (PR Newswire).

Leased modular cold storage trims upfront costs 20% to 30%, Titan Cold Storage says

Leased modular cold storage trims upfront costs 20% to 30%, Titan Cold Storage says

Titan Cold Storage's Søren Skov Mogensen, writing in Food Logistics, says leased modular cold storage units cut upfront construction costs 20% to 30% and can cut operating energy costs up to 30%. Newmark reports U.S. cold storage vacancy rising while demand grows. For food supply chain planners, the deciding variable is confidence in demand: steady, long-term load still favors a permanent build, while volatile peaks favor leased capacity.

  • 01Rising vacancy and rising demand at the same time, per Newmark's 2H 2025 report, means the U.S. cold storage market has spare space and a shortage of the right space; the useful question is now what kind of capacity, where, and for how long.
  • 02A 2023 Frontiers study of 67 cold stores found field energy use ran up to 30% above laboratory conditions, so a lease quote should be judged on the provider's measured fleet energy data, not on rated performance.
  • 03Leased modular units fit operators with a stable baseline and volatile peaks (harvest compression, plant renovations, rerouted supply); Titan's own author says permanent construction still makes sense where demand is long-term and steady.

Hain Celestial is selling most of its international business to AURELIUS for $323 million

Hain Celestial has signed a definitive agreement, announced Sept. 14, to sell most of its International business to private equity firm AURELIUS for an estimated $323 million in cash. Ella's Kitchen and New Covent Garden soups are included. Retailers, distributors and suppliers trading with those brands could face a new counterparty once the deal closes, though no closing date has been reported.

  • 01Hain expects $305 million to $310 million in net proceeds on an estimated $323 million headline price, and the announcement does not itemize what accounts for the difference.
  • 02The package spans Ella’s Kitchen baby and kids foods, Joya and Natumi plant-based beverages, Hartley’s jelly, Linda McCartney Foods, Cully & Sully, and the Yorkshire Provender and New Covent Garden soup brands; if the deal closes as described, multi-category buyers could be dealing with one new owner across them.
  • 03The signal to watch is a closing date and any transition arrangements; neither is in the reporting so far, so day-to-day trading terms for these brands remain as they are until that changes.
