"We are in cashew processing for the last 14 years. We initially started with small capacity and used multiple machine suppliers, and then we expanded to 10 MT in 2022 and the entire project was given to LOCUS. Since then our plant has been running seamlessly, and after-sales support is fantastic. We highly recommend LOCUS for cashew processing technology — they are the most advanced and reliable partners."

“I have a technical and industrial manufacturing background spanning the last 30 years, and LOCUS was the obvious choice for us in entering the cashew processing industry, given their technological advancement and high quality standards for machinery. We installed a 10 MT capacity plant from LOCUS, and our project is one of the best in terms of automation level. After-sales support is very satisfactory.”
