The Food Processing Suppliers Assn. (FPSA) has unveiled a new logo and branding, and changed its name to the Food Production Solutions Association (maintaining the same acronym). The announcement was made today at the FPSA’s annual Executive Exchange & Conference in Indian Wells, Calif.

Brian Perkins, FPSA chair and president of Provisur Technologies Inc., shared the news with attendees and members, explaining that the change reflects the expanded focus the association is taking to address food and beverage challenges throughout the entire production process, from sourcing to operations, packaging and distribution. It is a wider focus that FPSA expects to draw more industry participants, enhance the value of connecting through the association and provide better end-user engagement for its members.

FPSA also will add new membership categories, welcoming food and beverage processors to become members of the association as well, in an effort to foster new pathways for collaboration throughout the food and beverage processing chain.
