Machinery & Technology for Food & Beverage Plants
Machinery is usually the largest investment in a plant. We compare technology, capacity and vendors so you buy what your product and market need.
Buy the machine your product needs
Quotations rarely compare like for like. Speeds, materials, automation, spares and after-sales support all differ. We evaluate them technically and commercially, on a common basis.
From single machines to complete lines, you get a side-by-side comparison, a recommendation and support through procurement.
Problems we solve
- Quotations that are impossible to compare
- Over-specified, expensive machines
- Under-specified lines that limit growth
- Weak after-sales support
- Automation that never pays back

Machinery questions
Do you sell machinery?
FOBICA evaluates and compares options and coordinates vendors on your behalf, so the recommendation follows your needs.
How do you compare quotations?
On a common basis: specification, capacity, materials, utilities, spares, support and total cost.
Should we automate from day one?
Automate where it pays back. We assess labour, volume and quality to decide.
Can you help with an upgrade, not a new line?
Yes. We assess what to keep, upgrade or replace.
Comparing machinery quotations?
Share your product, capacity and the options you are considering. We will help you compare them and choose.
