The IX Conference on the improvement and promotion of the carob tree in Ibiza (Balearic Islands, Spain) was held on May 5, 2022. This event is convened by The EIG - Innovative Companies of the Carob Bean

It is the largest conference held in Spain for carob farmers, being a great strategic meeting point for both farmers, technicians and industries in the sector.

BORRELL® participates and supports this event regularly. As sponsors and attendees we always intend to provide knowledge and news about the machinery and technologies that we offer for the processing of carob beans and their derivatives.
It should be noted that Borrell has been working for years with machines for carob, of proven efficiency and that cover practically all the processes of this fruit with such magnificent properties.

The event was held at the Ibiza Conference Center 9-11 Salvador Camacho 07840 Santa Eulalia del Río.

The Almond Conference was held at the recently renovated SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento (California, USA).

Once again Borrell USA Corp participated as "Gold Sponsor" , was present in the exhibition area and made a presentation during the conference program of the event.

In 2022, the Borrell company celebrates the centenary of its first patent for an almond machine and wanted to celebrate it by unveiling the new machines and processing lines that provide great solutions and opportunities.

Thanks for visiting us at The Almond Conference!

We further expand and improve our range of grinding machines for the production of ultra-fine almond flour / almond powder.
The successful 400 and 700 models are now joined by the 1000 model, which increases capacity by 40% over the 700 model, achieving a very high efficiency and process quality.

This range of machines use a specially optimized stainless steel roller system to obtain the highest quality and productivity. The machine has a water cooling circuit to keep the temperature of the rollers within the optimal parameters for the best results. Operation, adjustment, cleaning and maintenance of the machine are simple due to the robust and efficient design.

Demonstrations available by appointment.

This year’s conference is officially in the books, and BORRELL-USA took center stage as the show’s GOLD sponsor for the 12th consecutive year. Industry professionals from all over the world converged in this years’ virtual show to network, view educational sessions, and share knowledge.

While we missed seeing familiar faces and greeting new ones, it was still great to engage with our peers.

Thank you to the California Almond Board for putting on a remarkable show, and thank you to all who stopped by our booth!

At BORRELL® we have reacted to address the Coronavirus crisis in order to protect our employees, our customers and our community.

As suppliers to the food and agro-food industry, we have continued providing service to ensure that our customers can continue to supply the food chain, especially in these difficult times.

We keept active the production lines essential for our mission, always following the instructions and regulations of the authorities. This meant the reduction of shifts and the allocation of staff rotations in addition to the implementation of severe prevention and protection measures.

We continued to provide technical service, but attending only limited urgent emergencies.

From the first moment, we take preventive measures and prepare our IT and organizational infrastructure to avoid face-to-face work as much as possible and allowing teleworking for all our engineering and office departments.

We focused to make this situation of force majeure have the least impact on ongoing projects. Recent investments in new machine tools and manufacturing technologies together with recent staff expansions translate into greater potential production capacity that we hope to recover as soon as the situation allows.

At BORRELL® we want normality to be restored as soon as possible and we wish health for all and a speedy recovery for all those affected.

We deeply regret any personal loss and we stand in solidarity with all those affected and their loved ones.
