Heat and Control will showcase its latest coffee and tea processing, packaging, and inspection solutions at the Melbourne International Coffee Exhibition (MICE) 2026, highlighting technologies designed to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and protect product quality across the coffee supply chain.
Returning to MICE following its debut at the show last year, the company will highlight solutions tailored for whole bean, ground coffee, and tea applications, supporting processors with scalable systems that provide accuracy, compliance, and efficiency.
Portfolio and industry partnerships
