Looking Ahead at 2027 Capital Spending for Food & Beverage

At the recent Pack Expo International show in Chicago, the Food For Thought podcast sat down with Randy Godet of Industrial Info Resources, or IIR, to offer an update on where the firm thought the food and beverage industry’s appetite for capital spending sat as we fast approach the end of 2026.

Godet talked about the trends driving how food and beverage capex projects are developing and how companies feel heading into 2027. He also offered his thoughts on the types of projects his firm was seeing in the industry, and what processors should be thinking about in terms of capital spending as they plan for the 2027 calendar year.
