Key Technology, Inc., a member of the Duravant family of operating companies, and Heat and Control Pty Ltd. announce an extension of their existing strategic partnership, supporting customers in Australia, New Zealand and India, to now include the region of South Africa and Sub-Saharan.

Under the terms of the agreement, Key has appointed Heat and Control as their exclusive agent in these regions to sell and service Key’s high-performance digital sorters, vibratory conveyors and other automation systems effective immediately.

Bringing these two well-established, world-class suppliers together for Africa and the sub Saharan achieves a common purpose and augments both companies’ value propositions to benefit customers in this region. Key Technology’s line of equipment is highly complementary to Heat and Control’s processing and packaging portfolio, giving processors convenient access to a more complete line solution from a single source.

By leveraging Heat and Control’s facilities in Cape Town, South Africa, Key can better support customers with demonstration and application testing capabilities and expedite delivery of Key’s spare parts and after sales service.

Erik Blom, Managing Director of Food Processing EMEIA for Duravant:

“Key Technology has a long-standing history with Heat and Control, and our collaborative partnership now extends to deliver innovative, optimized solutions to processors in South Africa and sub Saharan.”

“Together, we can deliver added value to our customers through our combined industry expertise, extensive product offering and strong infrastructure of sales and service organizations.”

Jeff Rossouw, General Manager – Africa at Heat and Control:

“The Heat and Control team is excited about this new partnership with Key. Their products complement ours perfectly in terms of their innovation and reliability, yet they offer adjacent capabilities that target the same or similar product applications.”

“Key’s equipment, which includes their best-in-class VERYX® digital sorters and Iso-Flo® vibratory conveyors, is ideal for processors that want to elevate their product quality and food safety while improving efficiencies and yields in an increasingly competitive market.”

By adding Key Technology equipment to their product offering in South Africa and sub Saharan, Heat and Control has expanded their already large portfolio of processing and packaging solutions. Heat and Control now provides a wider range of solutions for manufacturers of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, potato products, nuts, snacks, meats, poultry, seafood and other food products.
