BIRMINGHAM, Ohio, July 30, 2026 – Bettcher Industries, a manufacturer of precision meat cutting and trimming technologies, recognized Taglermaq, a Chile-based provider of food processing equipment and technical solutions for the food industry, with its Latin America Distributor Growth Award during the company's first global distributor meeting in many years.
Distributors from around the world gathered in Ohio in the United States for the first time since 2017. As the company reconvened for the first time in nearly a decade, they chose to celebrate the occasion where eight decades of Bettcher innovation began – at the company’s headquarters. The multi-day gathering allowed distributors to experience the company's 80-year history of yield and productivity advancements for the meat industry firsthand.
The grand finale for the event was the awards ceremony held at the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, where Bettcher celebrated distributor achievements and longstanding partnerships across its global network.
"Hosting our distributor partners at our headquarters after many years apart made this event especially meaningful," said Connor Guyton, Marketing Manager at Bettcher Industries. "In addition to showcasing all the people who make Bettcher a global leader in our industry, we celebrated outstanding distributors like Taglermaq who deliver our solutions to customers around the world.”
Taglermaq was recognized for its outstanding representation of the Bettcher brand throughout Chile. With more than 30 years of experience, the family-owned company supplies advanced food processing equipment and technologies while helping food manufacturers improve productivity, efficiency and product quality through technical expertise and customer support.
In addition to recognizing regional distributor excellence, Bettcher presented awards honoring distributor growth, marketing excellence, milestone partnership anniversaries and individual achievements during the ceremony.
