IPPE Recognizes Three Exhibitors with New Product Showcase “Best of the Best” Award
The 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) recognized three exhibitors with the New Product Showcase “Best of the Best” award. The award recognizes outstanding exhibitors who have set themselves apart by developing innovative technologies in products, services or operating practices that help move the industry forward.
KENT Nutrition was recognized as “Best in the Best” in the Animal Food category for their product, ARGIS™, a novel Bacillus-strain probiotic that improves the utilization of soybean meal and indigestible carbohydrates in poultry diets.
Vencomatic Group was recognized in the Live Production category for Meggsius Connect, a product transforming egg collection management by providing a cloud-based platform that gives poultry producers complete, real-time oversight of every egg collection, helping them work with greater efficiency and productivity.
ACEBRI Colombia was recognized as “Best of the Best” in the Processing category for their product, The Eco-Carrier: Ergonomic Design in 100% Recovered PET. This product is revolutionizing egg packaging with a 100% sustainable solution engineered from recovered Polyethylene Terephthalate, or PET. Post-consumer plastic waste is turned into premium, durable egg cartons and features an integrated, ergonomic handled design for superior consumer convenience.
Their innovative products and services can be viewed at Booth BC36119 on the trade show floor and through the IPPE app. Their videos are also viewable on the IPPE YouTube channel.
“We are really excited to announce IPPE’s fourth annual New Product Showcase 'Best of the Best' recipients! Congratulations to these three exhibitors for their innovative technologies,” said IPPE show organizers.
