Gulfood Manufacturing 2026: Getting More from Existing Production Lines

From Chicago to Dubai, conversations returned to a familiar question: how can companies get more from the equipment and facilities they already have?

Adapting equipment, relocating machinery, and adding capacity.

Arnold Manier, CEO of bXperts in Gulfood Manufacting 2026

At Gulfood Manufacturing 2026 in Dubai, many visitors arrived with clear plans for what they wanted to do next. Some were looking to adapt existing equipment for new formats; others wanted to move machinery within their plant, add capacity to a running line, or have one partner coordinate a complete-line project. For many, that meant expanding a plant they already operate.

The same focus came up at PACK EXPO International in Chicago. Across both shows, visitors were looking for practical ways to expand what their existing plants could produce.

At bXperts, our team works with customers to assess the equipment they have and plan the technical work needed to support what comes next. Depending on the project, that can include equipment conversion, line integration, relocation, mechanical and electrical installation, project management, and commissioning. For complete projects, our turnkey installation team can coordinate delivery.

Some customers also raised lighter-weight packaging as a way to manage costs and stay competitive. Any change of that kind needs to be considered alongside the equipment and line requirements.

"This show was once again a great opportunity to meet customers from across the region and hear what they’re planning for 2027. We look forward to continuing these conversations and helping them find the right way forward—whether that means adapting existing equipment, increasing production, or installing a new line. — Arnold Manier, CEO of bXperts

Thank you to everyone who met with our team in Dubai and shared their plans with us. We look forward to continuing these conversations through the end of the year and working with customers to plan the technical support and project execution they’ll need in 2027.
