NORDMILCH chose filling machines from SIG Combibloc for expansion

NORDMILCH Group expands dairy business segment and invests in four new machines from SIG Combibloc for filling beverage cartons.

Our focused efforts in the German dairy segment continue to bear fruit: the long-standing and successful cooperation between the SIG Combibloc division and Germany’s NORDMILCH Group is currently being expanded through a new project. At its production facility in Zeven, NORDMILCH has invested in four new machines from SIG Combibloc for filling beverage cartons. Moreover, for the second time in a row, NORDMILCH has nominated SIG Combibloc as its best supplier.

The SIG Group is rigorously continuing to expand in the dairy business of its biggest market, Germany. In the first half of 2006 already, a 6% increase in net sales over the previous year on year period was achieved.

The shape of combiSwift, a cap system that fully satisfies the high convenience requirements of demanding consumers with impressive opening characteristics of combiSwift based on an new kind of technology. The three-part screw cap is applied to a coated hole – a concept that makes it possible for the aseptic beverage carton to be easily opened without effort.

Now, yet another project is being realized with NORDMILCH, a customer of many years standing. The northern German enterprise is expanding its Zeven facility, located near Bremen, by installing four additional filling machines designed and built by SIG Combibloc.

Optimum efficiency is ensured, in particular, by the new high-speed machines for medium-sized packs. For the first time ever, they allow an output of 12.000 cartons per hour, including application of the closures, to be achieved. Says Manfred Feldmann, Head of the Production Centre for Dairy Products, when explaining why NORDMILCH chose filling machines from SIG Combibloc, “This output capacity is matched by enormous flexibility, both in terms of the products themselves and volume changeovers.” For the future, NORDMILCH is relying exclusively on SIG Combibloc technology for filling its beverage cartons at Zeven.

When the combiSwift carton is first opened, the ring integrated into the flange pierces the wafer-thin layers of aluminium and polyethylene, easily and cleanly with a single twisting motion. This especially simple handling gives combiSwift a decisive advantage in winning the favour of consumers. Extensive handling tests and consumer surveys confirm the ease and convenience of opening.

A further advantage is that combiSwift comes with a three-bridge opening guarantee. The consumer can tell at a glance whether or not the original seal of the carton is still intact. To re-seal the carton, the cap is simply screwed back on.

In closure technology too, NORDMILCH is convinced that SIG Combibloc systems solutions are the ideal choice: for the mass production of its milk and milk-mix products, the group has selected the innovative combiSwift pouring aid from SIG Combibloc.

Production with the four new lines is expected to come on stream at the beginning of 2007.

The German NORDMILCH Group nowadays exports to over 80 nations across the globe and, in 2005, achieved group net sales of EUR 2.03 billion. The products offered by the group range from fresh milk products, UHT items, evaporated milk and coffee cream through to processed cheese, butter, milk concentrates, powdered milk and special foodstuffs. In Europe, NORDMILCH sells exclusively through its MILRAM brand and internationally under the OLDENBURGER umbrella brand.
