New Preconference Tours
New for 2026!
We've added two preconference tour options. Pre-registration is required. Space is limited.
Join us on a tour of GEA’s new 86,000 square-foot fabrication, repair, logistics and training facility in Janesville, Wisconsin. Representing an investment of some USD 20 million to meet demand from the company’s growing Midwest customer base, the facility has production capabilities to finalize separator, decanter as well as valve and pump assembly. The new site has a strong emphasis on sustainability, with environmentally friendly measures including solar panels, water reuse systems and a state-of-the-art building management system.
Note: As this tour provides access to proprietary manufacturing processes, the host company will review the participant list prior to the event. Approval for attendance will be at the host's discretion based on competitive considerations.
Lunch is included in this event.
Space is limited.
During your visit to the Prairie Farms milk processing facility, you will have the opportunity to see the entire journey of milk from collection to packaging. The tour will begin at the raw milk reception area, where incoming milk is tested for quality and safety. You will then observe the pasteurization and homogenization processes, followed by a look at the bottling and packaging lines. The visit will conclude with a brief walkthrough of the cold storage area, where we will see how milk is loaded out for distribution.
This is a great opportunity to see 3-A symbol-bearing equipment in action!
Space is limited.
