“Vacuum packaging could not provide us a satisfying solution,” explains Fernando de la Vega, a partner and senior manager of FSV. “It could destroy the aesthetic appearance and texture of our products and further slow down the production pace.”
Implementing Hercules, Hefestus’ fastest packaging system, at FSV significantly extended shelf life for all the company’s products, dramatically decreasing returns. The production line works consecutively with balanced-plans production while providing maximum operative effectiveness.
“Our challenge was to improve product quality by extending shelf life, and to drastically cut production costs,” says Oded Shtemer, CEO of Hefestus, Israel. “The new Hercules packaging system is by far the best return on investment of its type in the market today. It can cut human resources costs and increase packaging pace exponentially. It also helps food manufacturers develop quality products and adjust them to the new economic challenges in the market place.”
