Innovation simplified: TNA helps food manufacturers do more with less at interpack 2026
February 11, 2026
Düsseldorf, Germany — 5 February 2026 – As food manufacturers face ongoing labour shortages, rising costs, and increased demands. TNA Solutions will bring a clear focus to interpack 2026 (7–13 May, Messe Düsseldorf): Innovation simplified.
Exhibiting in Hall 14, Stand C56 & D56, TNA will unveil new intelligent, integrated solutions to help snack and confectionery producers future-proof their production lines without adding complexity or increasing the burden on already stretched workforces. The showcase will focus on line-level thinking, demonstrating how packaging, seasoning, distribution, confectionery, processing, and digital technologies deliver the greatest value when engineered as part of a connected ecosystem.
“Food manufacturers are under pressure to deliver more consistent results with less waste — of time, energy and operator effort,” said Michael Jonson, CEO of TNA Solutions. “At interpack, we’ll show how simplicity in design and operation, translates into real, tangible gains across the entire production line: faster changeovers, fewer interruptions, lower maintenance demands and smarter upgrades that make sense for both new and existing equipment. Intelligent integration can be a game changer for food producers in 2026 and beyond.”
Doing more with less in a constrained labour market
With labour availability and skills shortages continuing to challenge manufacturers worldwide, TNA’s interpack presence will highlight how simplified line design and reduced manual intervention can help maintain throughput while easing the load on operators and maintenance teams.
Visitors will see the latest development in TNA’s packaging portfolio, alongside the new tna roflo® conveying technology. Through live demonstrations, TNA will also showcase how intelligent integration enables smoother product flow, fewer stoppages and faster recovery when conditions change, helping manufacturers protect productivity and reduce operational strain.
For confectionery producers, TNA will spotlight new mogul enhancements designed focussed on factory floor priorities, including improved energy efficiency, faster and easier cleaning to reduce downtime and labour, and enhanced safety features designed to help prevent contamination risk.
Health, wellness and greater attention to processes
As health and wellness expectations continue to reshape food manufacturing, TNA will also showcase advances in its batchfrying technology. The focus is on greater process control and consistency, enabling producers to develop betterforyou snacks while maintaining the taste, texture and shelf appeal consumers expect, without sacrificing throughput.
Digitalisation that supports operators, not overwhelms them
Digital tools are becoming essential across food manufacturing, but complexity remains a barrier to adoption. At interpack, TNA will demonstrate how digitalisation can support, rather than overwhelm operators, with clearer interfaces, improved visibility and more intuitive control.
A key highlight of the stand will be tna intelli‑assist™, an immersive extended‑reality (XR) experience that allows visitors to visualise how simplicity at line level improves performance from product flow and control points to system interaction and future upgrades, when technologies are designed as a whole.
