“We had a record number of enquiries, and some interesting temperature problems to solve – from the complexities of fine coffee bean roasting to the fry-curve of the humble chip!”

Celebrating 25 years at the forefront of digital handheld thermometer design, TME came to Anuga FoodTec to meet with food manufacturers and equipment distributors from all over the world. They were not disappointed. “We were delighted to meet so many potential customers and distributors from our target markets – not just in Europe but further afield, including India, Russia, China and the Middle East.”

TME’s newest innovation, the MM7100 ThermoBar Scan Thermometer, impressed with its original combination of high accuracy temperature measurement and integral Barcode reader. Visitors immediately grasped the advantage of recording not only the temperature, time and date of each measurement but also the unique barcode identity of the product or test point.
