PATATAS Melendez, Spain’s largest fresh potato processor, has completed a transformative upgrade at its flagship facility in Medina del Campo—now considered one of the most advanced potato processing plants in Europe.
A key part of the development was the integration of a high-efficiency wash line and selected packing line components, supplied by Wyma and seamlessly integrated with other systems on site. The full-service approach included consultation, design, manufacture, installation, and ongoing support—tailored to meet Patatas Melendez’s targets for automation, gentle handling, product traceability, and sustainability.
The results have been impressive:
This project reflects a growing trend in the sector toward digitalised, efficient post-harvest operations that prioritise sustainability without compromising quality. Future phases are already in development, with Patatas Melendez planning further line expansions to meet global demand.
