We’re excited to announce that Heuch Cooling Solutions will be exhibiting at FoodPro 2026, Australia’s leading trade event for food and beverage processing and manufacturing, returning to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26–29 July 2026.

Held once every three years, FoodPro brings together over 9,000 industry professionals and 400+ exhibitors from across the food and beverage supply chain. It’s where Australia’s food manufacturing leaders come to discover new technologies, solve operational challenges, and build the partnerships that drive their businesses forward.

This year, we’re bringing everything.

End-to-End Cooling Solutions Under One Roof

At our stand, you’ll see the full Heuch cooling portfolio — the systems that help Australian food and beverage manufacturers preserve quality, extend shelf life, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency across their entire cold chain.

Whether you’re processing baked goods, fresh produce, meat, prepared meals, dairy, seafood, or pet food — we’ll have a solution to talk through with you. Our range includes blast freezers and chillers (now available with our rent-to-own model), cool rooms, back-end cooling systems, and engineered HVAC-R solutions built for Australian conditions and backed by local service.

Showcasing Weber Vacuum Group Technology

As the exclusive Australian distributor for Weber Vacuum Group, we’ll be showcasing the latest in European vacuum cooling and vacuum freeze drying technology at FoodPro 2026.

Vacuum cooling is a rapid pre-cooling technology that removes field heat from products in minutes rather than hours — dropping temperatures from 90°C+ to below 5°C in a single cycle. It’s already transforming bakeries, fresh produce operations, prepared meal manufacturers, and meat processors across Australia and around the world.

Vacuum freeze drying is one of the most exciting product innovations in the food industry right now. The Weber WeDry range preserves up to 97% of a product’s original nutrients, colour, and flavour — creating lightweight, shelf-stable products with a 2+ year shelf life and no need for artificial preservatives. It’s gaining rapid traction in pet food, functional health foods, premium fruit and vegetable products, and pharmaceutical applications.

If you’ve been curious about either technology, this is your chance to see it up close and speak directly with the people who design, build, and support these systems.

Live Baking and Vacuum Cooling Demos with Master Baker Samuel

One of the highlights of our stand this year will be live demonstrations led by Samuel, our master baker visiting from Spain. Samuel will be running baking and vacuum cooling demos throughout the event — showing firsthand how vacuum cooling integrates into a bakery production line and the dramatic difference it makes to product quality, cooling speed, and throughput.

If you’ve ever wondered how leading bakeries around the world are cooling fresh bread, pastries, and cakes in minutes instead of hours — this is the demo to see.

Speaking at the FoodPro Conference

We won’t just be on the exhibition floor. Heuch will also be presenting at the FoodPro conference program, sharing insights on how our cooling technologies are helping Australian food and beverage manufacturers improve quality, reduce costs, and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

More details on our speaking session will be announced closer to the event — follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated.
