Hygiena acquires Nexcor Food Safety Technologies

Hygiena, a global food safety and environmental diagnostics business, has completed the acquisition of Nexcor Food Safety Technologies. Nexcor is the creator of KLEANZ and CAMS-PM, two software solutions for managing sanitation and equipment maintenance in food and beverage manufacturing facilities.

“Effective cleaning and monitoring of facilities with food safety diagnostic testing are essential for quality control and risk mitigation across all food processing environments. With our acquisition of Nexcor software solutions, we plan to integrate our SureTrend analytics platform with KLEANZ’s sanitation software, delivering powerful tools to drive quality improvement, prevent food safety issues and enhance operational efficiencies,” said Steven Nason, CEO of Hygiena.

SureTrend currently enables users to plan, schedule, test, capture, store, protect, analyse, audit and report on their testing data. Integrating Nexcor’s data will allow it to use machine learning AI for predictive insights, with the aim of enhancing the safety and operational efficiency of food and beverage facilities.

Robert Burgh, President of Nexcor Food Safety Technologies, said, “This collaboration with Hygiena allows Nexcor to create greater customer value by streamlining two critical, interconnected functions within food companies worldwide.”
