We entered the year with some uncertainty \u2013 but how do conditions look as we head into 2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attending major industry events this fall, including PACK EXPO, there was a sense of renewed energy in the air. The mood is upbeat, suggesting we may anticipate an upsurge in activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the biggest trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1) Economic conditions look favorable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a much slower start to 2025 than many expected, people are expressing more optimism about where things are going. We see larger customers moving forward on projects and actively planning investments in expansion and equipment for the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Macroeconomic conditions appear to be stabilizing, as we adapt to changes and move forward. Expect this to continue throughout 2026 and into 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expect activity around mergers and acquisitions to continue gaining momentum. However, the number of larger brands merging may not be as high as this year’s notable examples, such as JBT and Marel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Increased collaboration among suppliers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More conversations are happening around collaborating with others in the industry. There\u2019s more discussion around how we partner and boost our capabilities by working together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While tariffs have driven some of this, it\u2019s a positive trend that encourages us to learn to work creatively under any conditions. We may have to do business differently, but there\u2019s greater openness to those conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This benefits processors and end users with more holistic solutions, streamlined project management, and greater efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pork Metal Detection & Slicer Conveyor System - PFI\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uoaqv1nuypQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3)<\/strong> <strong>One-stop vendors that offer a full range of options<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with increased collaboration, food processors are looking for vendors that have the capabilities to respond to their needs across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some processors want to extend the life of their equipment by repurposing older machines. Others need to reconfigure their lines to adapt to trends, add more automation, or invest in new equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the case, they often want to work with a single point of contact. This saves them a lot of time and money and, in the end, is more efficient than coordinating with multiple vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4) Health initiatives take center stage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve seen a lot of discussion around healthier product options and clearer product labeling. Consumers continue to drive this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a boon for equipment manufacturers. Processors had pulled back earlier in the year, but now they seem ready to implement the changes needed to meet these requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, we\u2019ve seen big industry names like PepsiCo, Tyson Foods, and General Mills announce that they will no longer use any artificial food dyes in their products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5) The protein craze kicks in<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As consumer demand for protein is on the rise, we see the addition of protein to everything, from yogurt to bread to chips. Even Starbucks has launched a protein-based foam for its drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trend also requires processors to adjust recipes, potentially necessitating reconfigurations of equipment layouts to incorporate protein into products at various points in their production lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6) Beef prices on the rise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The protein push, coupled with record-high beef prices, makes for an interesting market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we witness the price of beef continue to skyrocket, it hasn\u2019t peaked yet. Will consumers keep paying, regardless of how high prices climb? Or will they seek alternatives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While demand for beef is up, supply is at a 15-year low. It\u2019s going to take time to adjust the supply accordingly. Once the industry begins to increase its heifer population, it takes at least 18 months for the impact to be felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One alternative when beef prices rise is poultry. If we look at the poultry market, it\u2019s much easier to meet increased demand. Producers can respond in 40 days. That doesn\u2019t mean prices won\u2019t go up. Even so, chicken will still cost less than beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7) Processed and prepared food continues to play a bigger role<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite healthier alternatives getting more attention, consumers still eat processed foods. It\u2019s important to remember that not all processed options are unhealthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may even see more movement toward frozen and canned food. They\u2019re often considered economical choices during periods of inflation yet offer a healthier option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With restaurant prices soaring and more people watching their budgets, prepared food offers a viable alternative to dining out. Consumers lead busy lives, so convenient prepared options are attractive. Sales of frozen foods, such as pizza, are booming. The convenience factor still matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8) Automation, data, and AI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The industry lags in the adoption of automation. Although some processes, such as packaging and palletizing, have been automated, much of the further processing work remains lightly automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data collection use cases are wide-ranging. The data can be useful and lead to greater efficiency, but processors may shy away if they don\u2019t understand how to analyze it. Incorporating AI provides useful analysis, uncovering insights that can be used to enhance performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Food Processors Roll with the Changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of the conditions, food processors will always do what they do best: rolling with the changes. Finding creative ways to feed consumers and meet the demands that drive the market is what we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teaming up with partners you can trust is always a wise approach, no matter what lies ahead. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we near the end of 2025 and take stock of what it has brought us, the food processing industry has experienced its share of ups and downs.

When it comes to determining the ROI of a slicer, what exactly should you consider?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Production rates, labor, and waste are just a few of the many factors that will determine the return on invested capital. Read on to learn more about calculating industrial slicer machine ROI to make a more informed buying decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Importance of Calculating Industrial Slicer Machine ROI<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re an established processing company or looking to upgrade from manual or tabletop slicing, taking the time to calculate the ROI will allow you to determine if the capital investment makes sense for your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crunching the numbers will also provide valuable insights into which areas of your business require improvement to help ensure healthy growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Calculate Machine Total Cost<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When determining the ROI of an industrial slicer machine, you\u2019ll need to look further than the initial price tag. Instead, start with the total cost of ownership, which includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Machine purchase price<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Freight to your facility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installation cost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Technical service (planned or emergency)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aftermarket parts and maintenance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Calculate Existing Costs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you know the total lifetime cost of the industrial slicer machine, it\u2019s now time to look at current expenses, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Labor<\/strong>\u2014There can be many different cost considerations when it comes to your labor. Consider not only the wages of your workers, but also benefits, insurance, and 401k matches. These can all have a drastic impact on your bottom line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Process<\/strong>\u2014Consider your processes. For example, using pre-sliced products will add to the overall cost. Processing time and production rates (both current and potential) can also affect your ROI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Product-dependent<\/strong>\u2014Each product has its associated costs that include waste\/scraps, giveaway (extra product in too big slices), and rework time\/cost. More expensive ingredients coupled with shoddier performance means your rework time and cost will add up very quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Calculate Future Opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much new business could you add with a new industrial slicer machine? How much more could you produce?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Evaluate the Equipment Manufacturer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carefully consider the level of service and reputation that you\u2019ll get from the equipment manufacturer\u2014this could dramatically increase or decrease the total lifetime cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When calculating the ROI, try to determine the answers to the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Does the manufacturer offer support over the entire lifespan of their machines?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How knowledgeable are they about the equipment and your needs?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How large is their parts department, and how quickly can they ship a part to you in a maintenance emergency?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What installation and training support is available? Does it require an onsite visit or are documentation or virtual tools available?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can you send your products to the manufacturer for them to demo machines replicating your exact operating conditions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Considerations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a few other considerations to consider when looking at the ROI of an industrial slicer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Production rate<\/strong>\u2014Current and potential<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Operation<\/strong>\u2014How easy is the machine to use and train on?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Functionality<\/strong>\u2014Do you require one application or multiple? Are you bulk slicing, shingling or stacking, or applying slices on a sandwich, pizza crust, tray, or screen?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration<\/strong>\u2014How easily will it fit into your existing line\/process? Is it modular, easily movable, does it cantilever over your current belt or have one built-in, available in left and right hand, how much space does it require, how many operators?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintenance and sanitation<\/strong>\u2014Frequency, parts needed, downtime, training? Does the machine have a sanitary design (tool-less, fast changeouts, washdown rated, open frame)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Durability<\/strong>\u2014Can the slicer run for a long time and over days\/weeks with no issues?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interpreting Your Industrial Slicer Machine ROI Calculation Results<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have the complete picture in front of you, you can now answer the important questions. Use the following formula to determine the potential ROI or payback period:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ROI = (Profit \/ Cost of Investment) x 100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Payback Period = Initial Investment \/ Yearly Cash Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you know your ROI and payback period, you\u2019ll be better able to answer the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What\u2019s the profitability of this slicer?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When will we realize payback? Is it within two years?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should we purchase now or at a later date?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will the new slicer provide a net gain or loss?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure to double-check your math and numbers\u2014the validity of your calculations is only as good as the data used. Ballpark numbers will produce ballpark results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Grote Industrial Slicer Machines<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grotecompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-335\" title=\"Grote industrial slicer machine\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grotecompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.grotecompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.grotecompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.grotecompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.grotecompany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/9.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carefully calculating the ROI of an industrial slicer machine will ensure that you\u2019re making an informed buying decision.
