TOMRA Food proudly congratulates Masgcor-CSESA on 15 years of outstanding partnership as its exclusive distributor for fresh large fruit in South Africa and several neighboring African countries, including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Eswatini, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, and Angola.

Since the beginning of this collaboration in 2011, Masgcor has consistently delivered world-class implementation of TOMRA’s sorting and grading technologies, integrating them into complete turnkey solutions that include design, manufacturing, installation, and after-sales support. Their deep technical expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction have earned them a reputation as a trusted partner for fruit producers throughout the region.

Masgcor’s network of service centers across South Africa ensures fast, reliable support for all customers, reinforcing TOMRA’s commitment to operational excellence and innovation. This strong infrastructure has enabled both companies to grow together year after year.

In 2025, Masgcor played a key role in launching two strategic TOMRA technologies for citrus: LUCAi (Deep Learning Electronic Technology) and a pregrading application. These innovations reflect TOMRA and Masgcor’s shared commitment to helping fresh fruit customers discover new ways to grow their businesses successfully.

TOMRA celebrates this milestone and looks forward to continuing this successful journey together.

“Masgcor is more than a distributor — they are an extension of TOMRA’s values and vision in Africa. Their dedication to quality, service, and innovation has been instrumental in our shared success,” said Harald Henriksen – Executive Vice President, Head of Tomra Food.

Looking ahead, TOMRA and Masgcor remain focused on delivering smart, sustainable solutions that help fruit producers thrive in a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape. With a shared commitment to quality, service, and innovation, the partnership is well-positioned to continue driving value for customers across Southern Africa and beyond.
