Leading global provider of advanced equipment
and systems for the food processing industry


Townsend continues to grow

Our company continues to grow steadily. In addition to our two Industry Centers (Boxmeer, the Netherlands and Des Moines, USA) we now have four manufacturing sites. Because of this growth, the Industry Center in Boxmeer is ready for its next stage, new, larger premises. Manufacturing is also running at full power in Nitra, our manufacturing site in Slovakia thermal treatment equipment (heating and cooling) and other Marel products. There will be expansion here in the short term so that the flexibility can be retained to meet demand which is increasing on all sides.
