As of October 1, it is official: Manter is expanding its international operations with the establishment of Manter Nordic, a new branch focused on the Scandinavian market. From this location, the company will serve Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. In collaboration with Kenneth Rasmussen, an experienced partner in the region, Manter Nordic can offer a complete range of weighing, packaging, and palletizing machines, including sorting and quality control systems. In addition, with its own branch in Scandinavia, Manter can provide local service more efficiently and effectively. This move responds to the growing demand for efficient and reliable solutions in the agrofood sector and strengthens Manter’s position in Scandinavia.
Manter Nordic
Manter designs and sells weighing, packaging, and palletizing machines for products including vegetables, fruit, and potatoes, as well as nuts, charcoal, and frozen fish. The establishment of Manter Nordic represents a strategic step toward Scandinavia, a region with significant potential. The new branch is a collaboration with Kenneth Rasmussen, with whom Manter has already successfully worked through a dealership.
“Over the past period, we have achieved excellent results together,” states Michiel Eilander, Commercial Director of Manter International. “That gave us the confidence to take this step.” Kenneth Rasmussen adds: “I also saw strong potential for the Manter range, especially right now where there has been a period of good profit in the potato business. So when Manter approached me with the opportunity for a partnership it was not a very long decision process.”
Kenneth Rasmussen sees opportunities in the region: “The market for potatoes, onions, and other vegetables is well-developed. Many producers are currently investing in upgrading their lines, focusing on capacity, quality, and automation.” In addition to representing Manter, Manter Nordic also works with other brands such as Flikweert and Jongejans. Through this collaboration, Manter Nordic can offer a complete line of solutions: from weighing, packaging, and palletizing to sorting, quality control, and dust extraction systems. This comprehensive approach perfectly meets the growing demand for integrated total solutions in the region.
With a local branch in Scandinavia, Manter offers customers the advantage of faster on-site service and maintenance, thanks to significantly reduced travel times. By maintaining direct communication with the factory, customers always benefit from up-to-date expertise and support tailored to their needs. In addition, communication in the local language helps build trust and improves understanding, resulting in a higher level of service and reinforcing Manter’s commitment to its customers in the region.
Promising Start
Manter Nordic has had a very promising start: thanks to Kenneth Rasmussen, several lines featuring machines from Manter, Flikweert, and Jongejans have already been sold in the region. Kenneth looks forward to further developing relationships with growers and packaging companies in Scandinavia: “It is great to combine Dutch technology with local engagement. We have a strong brand and a solid service organization, and the outlook is excellent.”
