2 EDITORIAL TRANSFORMING THE WAY THE WORLD PROCESSES MEAT Since the founding of METALQUIMIA in the year 1971, our company has always aspired to transform the way the world processes meat. First there were the hydraulic spray injectors and the cook in technologies which, combined with the computerized gentle/energetic massaging reactors and the first wholemuscle stuffers, enabled meat processors to access cooked meat products never before seen. Later, the marinating technologies devised by METALQUIMIA allowed for industrializing said process and dramatically increasing the market value of fresh meats. More recently, the QDS (Quick Dry Slice) technology has led to the emergence of METALQUIMIA in the cured meat products sector with a breakthrough technology that is already changing paradigms in the global meat industry. All these technologies that, without doubt, have marked a before and after in the way meat is processed, first saw the light of day at IFFA in Frankfurt, the Fair par excellence of the world meat industry, the Expo where technology, processes and the market join hands and, walking together, make the industry s future come true. Today, with a horizon full of provocative and exciting challenges (economic, energy, environmental, sustainability, ) the meat protein business needs, more than ever, leaders and benchmarks that enable it to tackle the future with intelligent optimism With this mindset, METALQUIMIA returns to IFFA 2013 with renewed enthusiasm to present new machinery and new technologies equipped to reinvent processes, advance new products and generate new Business Models in short, today we offer our customers in the global meat industry new concepts capable of increasing their business bases and their value propositions, and always, as we have done before, aspiring to transform the way the world processes meat. Let us show you, and share with you at our Stand, a bit of the future of our industry A great IFFA to all!! Josep Lagares General Manager, METALQUIMIA, SA 2 I 4-9 MAY I IFFA SPECIAL EDITION

3 METALQUIMIAS MARINATOR VERY GENTLE MARINATING The MARINATOR marinating reactors are equipped with a very gentle massaging system of great operational versatility, which enables them to marinate very delicate meats with optimal distribution and very efficient penetration / absorption of the marinade within the meat muscle. The MARINATOR reactors are highly recommended for the marinating processes where the special characteristics of the raw material (size, fragility, etc...) make marinating by injection unadvisable. The MARINATOR reactor has also been designed for conditioning and / or marinating a wide range of products, bone-in or boneless, including pork, beef, poultry or seafood products, and, thanks to its innovative baffle design, has shown great efficiency in processes of impregnation, coating (oils, flavorings, spices, etc...), breading, smoking, rehydration and/or cryogenic freezing of meats and food products in general.
