The Vege-Polisher™ soon followed which has proved to be a significant turning point in the root vegetable industry. Wyma Solutions has become one of the most innovative and agile companies in the post-harvest sector.

In 2023, Wyma was acquired by MHM Automation, another New Zealand-founded company, providing innovative, engineered solutions to food processors worldwide. Joining forces with MHM has allowed Wyma to integrate automation and robotic product handling systems into the solutions we develop for customers.
In 2024, MHM Automation and Wyma became part of the global Fortifi Food Processing Solutions group, together with their sister companies Bettcher and Frontmatec. Collectively as Fortifi, they can improve a single line or automate an entire food processing plant, anywhere in the world.
