Pet Food Manufacturer Chooses Sharpe Mixers

Pet Food Processing Plant

Recently, a leading pet food manufacturer faced an urgent issue.  E-coli had been found in their dog food, forcing them to issue a major and expensive recall on their product.  They recognized a process change was in order and immediately contacted Sharpe Mixers for help.  Time was critical.

Without delay, Sharpe Mixers went to work evaluating their process and determining a course of action.  The customer was so pleased with our recommendations that they proceeded with changes to not one, but two separate manufacturing plants in South Carolina and Missouri. 

Our mixers were installed and have been in operation for several months now.  The manufacturer is extremely happy with their performance and can be confident in their process once again.

Success in Korea

Sharpe Mixers currently exports its product to countries in North and South America, Europe, Asia and New Zealand. We started exporting our mixers to Korea more than 20 years ago. Over the past few years, Sharpe Mixers has exported parts to Korea for maintenance and repairs of its large industrial mixers already in use there.

Sharpe Mixers is currently pursuing several projects for, and with, Korean companies. We are currently bidding on a multi-million dollar, in-country project for a Korean customer and working with several Korean engineering firms pursuing projects around the world. Members of our Sharpe Mixers’ team recently traveled to Korea to meet with these potential business partners.

Although the market for Korean in-country projects is small for Sharpe Mixers, Korean companies frequently export their services and technology to other countries. There is significant opportunity for Sharpe Mixers to partner with these companies and work with them to secure business around the world.

As a result of our success in Korea, we are proud to featured as a success story by US Korea Connect.
We are proud of our relationship with Korean business and look forward to many more years of success!

Sharpe Mixers has been exhibiting at this event for over 10 years.

It is one of the biggest ISPE Product Shows in the country.

Since the show moved to Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, it has grown even more.

There are more vendors and more attendees than any other event of its kind.

Sharpe Mixers exhibited at this event along with our local sales representatives, Perrigo Inc.
This year we saw a lot of attendees from Biogen IDEC, Abbott Bioresearch, Shire Corp, Amgen,DPS Biometics, Lonza Biologics, Organogenesis, Pfizer, Siemens, Xcellerex and from Genzyme.

The usual cast of consulting engineers and systems suppliers were in attendance as well.
Sharpe Mixers observed a lot of interest in our all stainless steel portable mixers and the PB-Series of small biopharm mixers. Our line of lift stands was also drawing a lot of attention.

Do you have an ISPE chapter in your area? Do they sponser a similar event? Sharpe Mixers would be happy to talk with you about exhibiting.

ISPE New Jersey Chapter

2012 Suppliers Showcase

Met-Life Stadium

Sept 12 2012


Sharpe Mixers exhibited at this ISPE chapter event along with Scott Process Equipment, our area sales representative.

This is the first year the exhibit has taken place at Met-Life Stadium, home of the Jets and Giants NFL football teams. The ISPE New Jersey chapter has taken the cue from the Boston and Delaware Valley Chapters, who have their shows at Gillette Stadium and Citizens Bank Park, respectively.

The move to Met Life stadium has definitely made this a better event for attendees and exhibitors.


There was very good attendance from a wide range of customers across the tri-state area.

Scott Friedland and Paul Sinecore of Scott Process Equipment.

We were able to visit with quite a few of our customers who stopped by to say hello. We also spoke with many new people that are interested in our products and services.

Do you have an ISPE chapter in your area? Do they sponsor a similar event?

Sharpe Mixers would be happy to talk to you about exhibiting.

CE Marked Portable Mixers

Sharpe Mixers recently had testing conducted to CE mark our Portable Mixer line. The testing results provide evidence that our Portable Mixers meet European safety requirements. With testing completed, we can now mark them with a CE stamp. This opens up our mixers for better marketing in Europe. More often than not a European customer is looking for this mark to be on their mixing equipment. The mark gives them peace of mind that our mixers will meet the European safety codes and have been tested to back it up.
