Scott Technology Expands MHL Globally
Scott Technology expands Materials Handling capability
across food sectors and international markets
Auckland, NZ – [9 June 2026] – ScoƩ Technology (NZX: SCT) has secured several mulƟmillion-dollar Materials
Handling & LogisƟcs (MHL) contracts across Europe and North America with a total value over NZ$12 million,
supporƟng conƟnued growth with key customers and expansion into adjacent food processing sectors. The
contracts include an extension order with Dutch vegetable processor Bakker, a new palleƟsing installaƟon for a
large-scale frozen potato facility in Canada, and an integrated palleƟsing and Automated Guided Vehicle
soluƟon for a major poultry processor within the JBS Group in Georgia, USA.
"The automation of global food production is a structural shift, and it's accelerating. Scott's Destination 2030
strategy charts a deliberate course for that future, grounded in deep market understanding and a clear target
of $530 million in revenue by 2030. Our growth is being led by two pillars: Customer First approach and Leading-
Edge Technology. The MHL Domain's first-half performance, and these new contracts, are exactly what that
strategy looks like in practice," said Mike Christman, CEO of Scott Technology.
The Bakker contract extends an exisƟng mulƟ-line automaƟon project through the installaƟon of central pallet
conveyor systems connecƟng mulƟple producƟon zones, demonstraƟng conƟnued growth within ScoƩ’s
installed base. The Canadian frozen potato processor project comprises a new mulƟline palleƟsing installaƟon
for an exisƟng strategic global customer, reinforcing ScoƩ’s Key Account Management approach in a core food
processing sector. The US protein project, with a major poultry processor in the JBS Group, includes four
palleƟsing systems and four NexBot AGVs, further strengthening ScoƩ’s relaƟonship with JBS and expanding its
presence within the North American protein sector.
Business Momentum
The contracts conƟnue the strong momentum established in H1 for the MHL Domain, which reported revenue
of $65 million (up 21% on pcp) and net margin of 26% (up three percentage points on pcp). During the period,
MHL secured new contracts across Europe, Australia and North America, including projects with PepsiCo,
Danone, Essity, EMPWR, Farm Frites, Boeing and Gallo.
These new wins build on the H1 momentum, reinforcing the Domain’s strategy to expand across adjacent food
sectors, deepen key account relaƟonships and grow within priority internaƟonal markets, while expanding
ScoƩ’s global installed base supporƟng future lifecycle services growth.
"Historically, MHL has built a strong posiƟ
on across food processing, with parƟcular strength in the global
potato industry,” said Aaron Vanwalleghem, President of Materials Handling & LogisƟcs. “Under DesƟnaƟon
2030, we are leveraging that foundaƟon to deepen relaƟonships with key accounts, expand into adjacent food
processing sectors - specifically across Meat, Dairy, Snacks and Bakery Goods - whilst broadening our
geographic footprint. These recent wins demonstrate tangible progress against our strategy."
