Scotts Precision Manufacturing announces three-event programme in the UK and Belgium

Scotts Precision Manufacturing will exhibit at three industry events across the UK and Belgium in November and early December, providing opportunities for growers, machinery businesses and other industry professionals to meet the Lincolnshire-based manufacturer.

The programme begins with British Potato Confex at Lincolnshire Showground on November 18–19, followed by the Onion & Carrot Conference in Leicester on November 26. Scotts will then exhibit at INTERPOM in Kortrijk, Belgium, from November 29 to December 1.

The appearances bring together the company’s established potato industry connections and its equipment applications across other vegetable crops, including onions and carrots.

“Meeting growers and listening to their experiences is an important part of developing equipment that works in practice,” said Derek Scott, Managing Director of Scotts Precision Manufacturing.

“These three events give us an opportunity to catch up with existing customers, meet new contacts and discuss the harvesting and handling challenges facing potato and vegetable businesses. We’re particularly looking forward to exhibiting at the Onion & Carrot Conference for the first time.”

First stop: the inaugural British Potato Confex

Scotts will exhibit on Stand 79 at British Potato Confex, a new conference and exhibition designed to connect the potato industry in the years between the established British Potato Industry Event in Harrogate.

Taking place at Lincolnshire Showground, the two-day event combines a supplier exhibition with seminars, industry discussions and activities focused on practical knowledge, skills and professional development.

For visitors interested in potato harvesting and handling equipment, the event provides an opportunity to meet Scotts close to its manufacturing base in Eastville, near Boston.

A first appearance at the Onion & Carrot Conference

On November 26, Scotts will exhibit for the first time at the Onion & Carrot Conference, held at Leicester Tigers Conference Centre.

The conference brings together the British onion and carrot sectors, with an exhibition and opportunities for delegates and suppliers to exchange information and establish business contacts.

Scotts’ participation reflects the wider crop applications of its equipment. Its Evolution Separator cleaning system is designed to separate soil, clods, stones and crop debris from produce, with applications including potatoes, onions and carrots.

The system uses paired rollers to move produce across the cleaning surface while separating unwanted material beneath it.

International potato industry gathering at INTERPOM

Scotts will complete its three-event programme at INTERPOM, where its published stand number is R74.

Running from November 29 to December 1 at Kortrijk Xpo, the Belgian exhibition covers the potato value chain from growing and harvesting through to processing and marketing.

The event brings together growers, contractors, processors, packers, equipment suppliers and other potato industry professionals from Europe and further afield.

Scotts designs and manufactures equipment for potato and vegetable harvesting and handling. Alongside its Evolution Separator cleaning systems, its portfolio includes Trinity haulm toppers, which mechanically chop the above-ground potato foliage.
