Aalberts Industries has over 200 locations in 30 countries with more than 15,000 employees and certainly intends to continue growing. Vin Service is known throughout Europe as an innovative and stylistic manufacturer of beverage towers, faucets and water glycol chillers, all of which are highly sought after com- modities in a growing craft beer mar- ket as well as in the more traditional settings. Now Vin Service will bring this modern innovation to the bar along with Schroeder's quality post- mix dispensing and the already well- established draft dispense products of Taprite and DSI, thus expanding Aalberts Industries dispense market position. Aalberts Industries stimulates an entrepreneurial, active market approach which allows its subsidiaries to run as they always have, but with more resources and global leadership. Look forward to the innovation and technological development Aalberts Industries will now bring to the market through market-oriented application knowledge, rapid innovation, combin- ing technologies and making use of joint market channels and Key Account Management.

TEA ZONE PRODUCTS MAKE MENU UPDATES SIMPLE By Julia Gutierrez, Marketing Coordinator, Lollicup USA, Inc. Customers are always looking for new, fresh flavors to enjoy. Trends go as fast as they come, making it very important that foodservice business owners are ready to make changes to their menus. Change isn't easy. Menu changes require planning, research and develop- ment and oftentimes a redesign of the physical menu. However, it does not have to be this complicated. Lollicup ® USA Inc. offers a great product for making menu changes a lot easier: Tea Zone ® popping pearls. These are a simple and fresh topping that will add color and flavor to your menu. An easy way to freshen up your menu, with- out doing a complete overhaul, is to add small details. Tea Zone popping pearls, which are also known as popping boba, have become exceedingly popular over the past several years – making their way onto menus of popular, mainstream eater- ies. Popping pearls are sweet, juice- filled balls that resemble boba but are much different. Popping pearls are avail- able in tasty flavors like mango, kiwi, strawber- ry, pomegranate and many others. They are often used in sweet teas, cocktails, frozen yogurt, slushes and many other food and drink items. Once bit- ten, popping pearls burst, adding a new, unexpected flavor to your food or drink. Popping pearls can also be used in more unconventional ways. They can be added to an entrée salad or a fruit salad for originality and extra sweetness. Popping pearls' flavors and vibrant colors aren't the only selling point. Unlike boba, popping pearls do not need to be cooked and there is no preparation needed. All popping pearls by Tea Zone are ready to serve from the jar. This makes them a fast and easy topping for customers to enjoy. Tea Zone also offers other toppings to embellish your food and beverages, including mini mochi, boba, jellies and more. These products have become very popular, leading to a 19 percent rise in sales on Tea Zone products in 2016. Tea Zone is a brand under Lollicup USA, Inc., which is also the manufactur- er and supplier of Karat ® paper and plas- tic foodservice disposables. For more information, visit www .lollicupusa.com. YORGANICS SPICE BLENDS PROVIDE BRIGHT, BOLD FLAVOR Do you want to create and enjoy tasty and satisfying, yet healthy foods? Try Yorganics! Yorganics is a new, versatile organic spice blend that infuses any meal with bright and bold flavors. The first blend is Herbal Salt, a pre- mium seasoning salt made from Himalayan Salt. Himalayan Salt comes from the Himalayan mountain range which stretches across Asia. A few mil- lion years ago, sea salt beds, now located deep within the Himalayas, were covered by lava. It is believed that this lava, along with the year-round snow and ice of the Himalayas, has protected the salt from pollutants. The product is Himalayan Salt – the world's purest salt made entirely by Mother Nature, containing a high miner- al content, low sodium content and natu- rally rich in iodine (so no artificial addi- tion is required). The Herbal Salt blend, in conjunc- tion with other high-end certified organic herbs – some common, like rosemary and oregano, and others exotic, like saffron – combine to create a synergy of flavor that will enhance any meal and create a memorable taste experience. Ingredients are sourced from only a handful of trusted and certified organic suppliers. This careful sourcing strategy ensures that only the finest products reach customers. The packaging, like the spices, is also carefully sourced. A tin container guarantees convenient and air-tight stor- age. This reusable container means less plastic and paper waste is added to the environment. Are you a real spice lover or engaged in a commercial enterprise? Herbal Salt is available in bulk quantities. Herbal Salt is just the first spice blend. Because Yorganics is dedicated to producing best in class products, it is perfecting its processes one product at a time. It will soon be offering more spice blends. For your convenience, Yorganics provides online ordering.

PENNSYLVANIA MEAT PRODUCER INSTALLS 4,000TH SOLAR MODULE Just in time for the celebration of Earth Day, Godshall's Quality Meats has sur- passed 4,000 solar modules installed across its three Pennsylvania facilities. Godshall's, in business since 1945, is now at the vanguard of modern facilities producing fine meat delicacies for the entire nation. "We're excited to have a 1233kW system up and operating," explains Ron Godshall, Chief Operating Officer. "We see this as an investment as well as an expression of positive corporate citizen- ship. Even more, stewardship of the earth is in keeping with our faith, which we hold as being integral to our success." Godshall's success is something of a story in itself, growing from a local butcher shop to an international supplier of both branded and private label. Godshall's flagship product is a real meat, real wood-smoked turkey bacon, and many of its other products also uti- lize lower fat recipes with turkey and chicken. The company's recent drive has been toward offering many more all-nat- ural and uncured options. Uncured meats have no nitrites or nitrates except those naturally occurring in sea salt and celery powder. "Getting free power from empty roof and field space -- that's a no-brainer," adds President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Godshall. Under Godshall's leadership, the company has not only grown at an unprecedented rate but also enacted water recycling pro- grams, converted some systems to clean- er burning natural gas, and instituted a "zero landfill" program. "Offsetting more than 2,346 metric tons of carbon annually is just the cherry on that sun- dae." That amount of carbon is equiva- lent to the carbon dioxide emissions from 5,432 barrels of oil or 2,503,842 pounds of coal burned. "In the modern marketplace, it's not enough to have great taste and a whole- some product. Consumers want to know the companies they buy from are making the same efforts they are," said Ron Godshall. "That's why we like to tell folks that we're a great choice for a healthier you, healthier planet."
