We already know of the brand Kiremko. Think McCain Smileys and French Fries! The Netherland-based based company is the name behind food processing equipment in the frozen food sector. And now, Kiremko is eyeing an investment worth 25 million euros (approx Rs 213.7 crore) in Gujarat. The firm currently supplies food processing equipment to manufacturers of frozen potato-based products in Gujarat. The state is the largest producer and exporter of the same from India.
“We are looking to set up an equipment manufacturing facility in India. This equipment will be used in food processing, primarily for frozen potato-based products. Gujarat is an ideal choice because it may be easily used as a production hub and supplier for processed potato products,” informed Bhavana Vishawanath, director, Kiremko, India.
Kiremko already supplies equipment to frozen-potato based food products manufacturers McCain and Hyfun Foods. At the meet held in the city on Thursday, Marten van den Berg, Dutch ambassador to India, expressed interest in investing in four sectors: healthcare, agriculture, water and energy.
