Supplier Directory · Preview
Every supplier, the same criteria.
The VegTech Supplier Directory will list processing-equipment suppliers by category and score each one on the same four public criteria. Scores come from public sources only and show the date they were checked. Where we couldn't find evidence, the listing says “unknown” rather than guessing.
How suppliers are evaluated
Every supplier in the VegTech Supplier Directory is scored 0 to 3 on four public criteria: North American service footprint, install evidence, category breadth, and public documentation. Missing evidence is shown as unknown, no listing is paid or featured, and every score carries the date it was checked.

Supplier Directory questions
How are suppliers evaluated in the VegTech Supplier Directory?
Every supplier is scored 0 to 3 on the same four criteria: North American service footprint, install evidence, category breadth, and public documentation. Scores use public sources only, carry the date they were checked, and show 'unknown' where no evidence was found rather than guessing.
Can a supplier pay to be listed or featured?
No. There is no paid placement. Listings are not featured, pinned or highlighted, and the order within a category follows the published score.
Which equipment categories will the directory cover?
At launch: peelers, freezers and IQF, pasteurization, dehydrators and dryers, fry lines, and full-line suppliers. More categories will follow based on what processors ask for.
How do I correct a listing?
Each listing will have a correction link. Send the public source that supports the change and the listing will be re-checked and re-dated.
When does the directory open?
It is in preparation while every listing is verified against public evidence. Join the waitlist and you'll get one email when it opens.
