Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods) has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with New Zealand's DSH Systems Limited and SEEN Safety Limited. This collaboration aims to enhance workplace safety, promote employee health, and minimize environmental impact.

The MOU was signed in the presence of New Zealand's Prime Minister, Mr. Christopher Laxon, at the National Convention Center, Sirikit. CP Foods' CEO, Prasit Boondoungprasert, joined hands with Mr. Jason Whaanga, General Manager of DSH Systems Limited, and Mr. Michael Scott, CEO of SEEN Safety Limited, for the signing.

Mr. Prasit disclosed that this partnership builds on the successful Business Matching event by New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE). It focuses on modernizing, securing, and sustaining food production processes, aligning with Thailand's ambition to be the global kitchen and New Zealand's foresight in technology (See Tomorrow First).

“CP Foods is committed to ensuring workplace safety, a core element in our process of delivering high-quality food," Mr. Prasit commented. "This MOU with two esteemed companies will bolster a safe and healthy working environment. Moreover, our meeting with the Prime Minister of New Zealand was a vital opportunity to exchange knowledge on agriculture, aiding CP Group's objective to produce healthy, fresh, clean, and safe food.”

Furthermore, CP Foods plans to adopt DSH Systems' dust-reducing hopper technology in its animal feed factory to enhance operational efficiency, reduce waste, and support environmental sustainability. This technology will help curb dust dispersion during the handling and transportation of raw materials and agricultural products, thus improving workplace hygiene and worker well-being. Additionally, the company intends to install SEEN Safety's sensor technology on forklifts to enhance safety and prevent accidents effectively.
