Wyma Workshop & Tour - Global Growth Through Flexibility & Culture

Explore how to move from products to solutions, scale into new markets, and tailor your offering to customer needs.
About this Event

Manufacturers have many opportunities to add value - from moving beyond standalone products to delivering complete solutions, expanding into global markets, and building flexibility into standardised, made-to-order systems.

Join us for a workshop and factory tour showcasing adaptive growth in action by leveraging flexibility, agility & culture at Wyma Solutions.

Wyma designs, manufactures, and services post-harvest fruit and vegetable handling solutions worldwide. The company has evolved from supplying individual machines locally to delivering fully integrated, customised systems globally.

This event offers a unique opportunity to learn from a team that has developed a highly systemised approach across design, layout, structured R&D, engineering, manufacturing and sales.

Workshop:

Gain practical insights into scaling from single builds to multi-order delivery, simplifying complexity, improving communication, and adopting smarter ways of working.

Explore Wyma’s evolution - from where they started, why change was necessary, and where they are today.

Key focus areas include:

• Striving for better, not perfect

• Building a flexible, high-performing team culture

• Strengthening communication and trust through early stakeholder engagement

• Scaling shop floor operations to manage multiple concurrent builds

• Simplifying complexity

Factory Tour:

Take a behind-the-scenes look at how agility, flexibility, and culture are embedded across Wyma’s operations - from the factory floor to head office.

• Guided tour of Wyma operations

• View integrated system assembly (including conveyors, structures, and electrical systems)

• Observe multiple concurrent builds in progress

• See production areas designed for complex, multi-machine systems

This event is ideal for manufacturers looking to scale from standalone products to integrated solutions, improve flexibility, and manage multiple orders more effectively - or for those already on this journey seeking to strengthen systems and culture.

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately, and a clear understanding of how Wyma has successfully evolved its operations.
