This year Produkty Pitania marks its 10th Anniversary. Vice-President Damir Imamovic spoke about the way the production capacity of the Company evolves.
Back in 1998 the objective was to establish an international-level production capacity that was designed in a fashion that would allow further expansion and diversification with minimum costs in the future.
The production capacity located in Kaliningrad is the largest of the kind both in Russia and in Europe with the total floor area of 56,000 square meters.
Efforts that contributed to the impressive result: continuous investing activities in production and modern equipment, well-designed process flow sheet, correct approach to the development of logistics.
In the initial phase production was based on Russian-made equipment that was specifically tailored and designed to suit the Company’s needs. The shortcomings of this equipment were: relatively low productivity, high involvement of personnel. That is why the Company upgraded its process equipment favoring foreign-made units.
Packaging shops have also gradually become modernized so as to exclude excessive personnel and to maximize automation and production capacity.
In 2001 a decision was taken to launch production of frozen convenience products in breading and to begin delivery of ready-to-eat products. A new process line was purchased to meet the goal.
In consequent years the Company has continuously upgraded its production equipment and investments flow never thinned.
Today the plant uses a variety of equipment from such famous international producers as Convenience Food Systems (Holland), Stein (Sweden), Frigoscandia Equipment (Holland), Dominioni (Italy), HAFI (Austria), Rondo Doge (Swtizerland).
Shock-freezing solutions include spiral speed-freezing equipment from FrigoScandia Equipment (Sweden) and compressors from Musot (Japan) and HAFI (Austria).
Storage equipment brands include Zanotti and RivaCold (Italy), which satisfy the strict process requirements of high importance for ensuring the quality of products in storage and at the delivery stage.
As is clear from the above, the Company cooperates only with well-known equipment producers who deliver high-quality and easy-to-operate units.
Engineering&Maintenance Service ensures that all equipment operates flawlessly. All relevant staff are trained on the regular basis.
