Chidi Okonkwo runs a meat wholesale business in Lagos, Nigeria, supplying beef, goat meat, and chicken to supermarkets, hotels, and online platforms. Due to the hot climate, he needed a solution to extend shelf life and keep a fresh, bright color. He discovered Foodline’s MAP Packaging Machine (also suitable for nitrogen packaging) while searching online.
Chidi flew to China to visit the factory and test different meat packaging on-site, and then placed an order for two continuous modified-atmosphere packaging machines. After installation, the results were immediate: speed reached 25–30 boxes per minute, shelf life extended to 10–12 days at 4°C, with better color and fewer returns. He recovered his investment in under five months. As his business grew, he purchased three more machines to expand into beef, cooked meat, and contract packaging services.

The full machine has a one‑year warranty. We provide lifetime support for spare parts and remote help.
Can I test it before buying?
Yes. We have demonstration machines. You can send your products to us, and we will test pack them and send you a video. Or you can visit our factory in China, test on site, and we will help you set the gas mix and mold.
