Gulfood Manufacturing is the global reference event for the food & beverage manufacturing industry, which transforms Dubai into the nerve centre of innovations and trends in the sector every year. It is one of the largest trade fairs in the world for this segment, attracting professionals from over 160 countries and focusing on technological innovations, advanced production solutions, and the entire ecosystem of the food supply chain, from processing machinery to packaging, including logistics services.
Since the early years of our business, we have maintained a crucial collaboration with our partner, Tosa. The partnership between Clevertech and Tosa has been ongoing for over 25 years and has undergone significant evolutions benefiting both companies over time.
In response to specific market demands, Clevertech expanded its scope beyond the provision of palletizing systems and conveying lines to include other essential elements of a complete and integrated production line. Our customers sought harmonization among the various machines in the production line, prompting both companies to collaborate closely to ensure that Tosa's products adhered to Clevertech's design specifications.
We are thrilled to share with you the success of our recent company workshops, held on the afternoon of May 10th. It was a unique experience that allowed our employees to explore shared passions and interests, strengthening the bond between various departments and fostering a cohesive and collaborative work environment.
Welcome to the universe of innovation and excellence! As a company, we firmly believe that continuous evolution and training are the keys to success in the rapidly transforming mechatronic and digital world.

Clevertech in partnership with WSR Solutions, revolutionising modern distribution
Clevertech Group, leader in the design and production of industrial automation systems, has signed a partnership agreement with WSR Solutions for the use of its mixed palletizing technology on end-of-line systems manufactured by Clevertech.
