International Production & Processing Expo
See Gray at the IPPE Expo 2026
Gray is excited to once again be a part of a can’t-miss event, IPPE Expo, from Jan 27th-29th! The International Production & Processing Expo is the world’s largest annual display of technology, equipment, supplies, and services used in the production and processing of all things protein.
As the food and protein industry continues to evolve, facility innovation is driving the next wave of production efficiency and sustainability. At Gray, we go beyond building processing plants—we design and deliver the infrastructure that powers safer, smarter, and more sustainable food operations. We design, build, engineer, and automate.
"Not many companies do a good job at building cattle plants, but Gray does."
