Wyma Solutions is proud to announce our recognition at the German-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce (GNZCC) Business Award Gala held in Auckland on April 29, 2025. Our team was honoured to receive the prestigious "Outstanding Contribution to DE/NZ Trade" award. This recognition celebrates our long-standing partnership with Abenhardt, one of Germany's leading carrot processors, which began in 2016 when we designed and installed a processing line for their facility.
Through this collaboration, Wyma has strengthened economic ties between New Zealand and Germany by integrating our advanced post-harvest solutions into Abenhardt's operations.
In 2023, we designed a specialised organic carrot processing line for Abenhardt, which was successfully installed in 2024. Looking ahead, there's an opportunity to upgrade their existing lines in 2026.
These installations feature our Clean Wet Hopper, Vibrating Length Sizer, and Conveyors. Wyma's strength lies in designing and manufacturing reliable, durable equipment that has significantly improved Abenhardt's carrot processing efficiency. Our expertise in integration was particularly demonstrated in implementing their organic processing line, including a third-party optical grader within a compact space without compromising performance.
Wyma's Territory Manager, Peter van der Loo, attended the gala to accept the award on behalf of our team. The award acknowledges how our partnership has facilitated technology innovation, enhanced efficiency in German agricultural processing.
As we continue to expand our presence in European markets, this award reinforces our commitment to building cross-border partnerships that foster innovation and sustainable practices in the global food processing industry.
We extend our thanks to the GNZCC for this recognition and to our partners at Abenhardt for their continued collaboration.
