MEKITEC-GROUP
29.7.2021 08:17:08 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Food quality control system manufacturer Mekitec Group acquired Grupo Bimbo subsidiary Kanan Smart Solution on July 15, 2021, including a software development team and local sales and service operations in Mexico.
This solidifies Mekitec’s place among the global leaders of X-ray inspection systems for baking companies and boosts the company’s market position throughout Latin America.

Having Bimbo Ventures as a partner and Grupo Bimbo as a customer means that our product development will always be fully aligned with the industry needs.”
Pablo Sánchez , CEO of Kanan and Principal at Bimbo Ventures adds: “AI is transforming food inspection and enabling our customers to deliver ever better products to their customers. We’re excited that together with Mekitec, we’ll be one of the creators of the next generation of inspection, starting with baking.”
