From Taiwan to Europe: ANKO Experience Center Opens in the Netherlands
10 Jul, 2025Starting in Asia, expanding through the Americas, and now reaching Europe—ANKO Food Machine continues to realize its vision: "To provide trustworthy and delicious food production solutions and become the best partner for customers on their growth journey."
Following the establishment of its first overseas branch in the United States in 2015, ANKO has extended its global footprint to Europe a decade later. The newly established branch is located in a light industrial zone on the outskirts of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and features a state-of-the-art ANKO Experience Center spanning over 1,500 square meters. Official operations began in July 2025, marking a new milestone in ANKO’s global presence across three continents.
Revitalizing a Historic Factory into an EU-Standard Model Base
The new site occupies approximately 1,550 square meters over two floors. Formerly a century-old Dutch confectionery factory, the facility has been transformed to meet the highest European food production standards. It has received the top A+++++ rating from the European Union Energy Label program and features 184 solar panels on its roof—demonstrating ANKO’s long-term commitment to sustainability.
"When we began planning for our European presence more than two years ago, we didn’t anticipate how difficult it would be to establish the company and find the right location. Initially, we were simply looking for a regular industrial space. Luckily, we came across this available food factory, which inspired us to build a model food production center. We hope customers can see firsthand how intelligent equipment integrates with automated production and strengthens their trust in ANKO’s design and innovation capabilities." said ANKO’s general manager, Richard Ouyang.
Integrating Showcase, Service, and Storage to Deepen Global Localization
ANKO Europe combines multiple functions including equipment demonstration, spare parts storage, technical support, and business development. Machines showcased at the facility include:
• HLT-700U Multipurpose Filling and Forming Machine
• EA-100KA Dumpling Making Machine for Soup Dumplings
• SR-27 Spring Roll Production Line
• HSM-600 Automatic Shumai Machine
• SD-97W Automatic Encrusting and Forming Machine
• STA-360 Automatic Stamping and Aligning Machine
This new site enhances real-time response and localized support for the European market, becoming a crucial link between the headquarters in Asia, the branch in the Americas, and customers across Europe. With this launch, ANKO activates a three-continent global network model that delivers upgraded, end-to-end service—from product demonstration and on-site testing to technical support and customized solutions—working together with global clients to shape the smart future of the food industry.
