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.

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.”

We’re excited that together with Mekitec, we’ll be one of the creators of the next generation of inspection, starting with baking.”
