The complexity of the agri-food sector is increasing rapidly. Globally connected markets, stricter customer demands, more advanced and complex technologies from specialized suppliers, labor shortages, environmental regulations, and increasingly significant financial stakes all require investment projects to be chosen and executed with great care.

While architectural or construction project firms are often hired for the construction or renovation of buildings, processing and packaging technology projects are typically managed in-house and in cooperation with machinery suppliers, relying heavily on trust and internal expertise.

However, the growing complexity is introducing more and more risks—technical, financial, and legal.
Companies making these investments don’t do so on a daily basis, which means that certain aspects may be underestimated or overlooked.

Additionally, due to increasing specialization, it is becoming less and less likely that the machinery supplier with the closest relationship or the most critical key product will also be able to deliver the best overall solution.

In this complex web of interests, required knowledge, and skills, there is a need for an independent firm that thinks and acts solely in the best interest of the investor. This is exactly what Allsum does.
