Automatic Sorting Solutions Increase Throughput And Boost Product Quality

Flip Potgieter of Macridge had a vision for his own macadamia processing factory that would include value-added lines such as pressing macadamia oil, roasting the nuts, as well as manufacturing his own bio-diesel. His dream has now become a reality: its vehicles and tractors run on bio-fuel and its oil is available at leading stores.

Phillip Potgieter, now owner of Macridge, says: “Macridge is a privately owned company with a real passion for our product and the people that are connected to it. Our company was started and built on the vision of a single person, with the aim of ultimately becoming a business that would not only thrive and expand, but also give something back to the community, in this case by providing work opportunities and self-improvement to disadvantaged groups in the surrounding area.”
