Forward thinking solutions
Snacks manufacturer and co-packer Keystone Food Products has dramatically expanded production capabilities at its Easton, Pennsylvania site in the US by adding three new tna packaging lines.
In addition to boosting current profitability, the installation has also helped to consolidate Keystone’s work space, enabling it to better respond to increasing consumer demand for the company’s quality products and services. tna supported the family owned business throughout the entire installation process in creating complete start to finish packaging solutions and facilitating Keystone’s transition to a new building with total peace of mind.
As a producer and co packer of a wide variety of natural and healthy unique corn based snacks, from tortilla chips to snack mixes, popcorns and extruded snacks, Keystone depends on flexible, high performance packaging solutions that can easily be integrated into its existing production line. In addition, the growing market requirement for smaller bag sizes meant Keystone needed to expand the plant’s manufacturing capabilities to address this customer demand while still maintaining profitability.
According to Keystone, the tna robag FX 3ci was the right choice for its facility as this turnkey packaging system could be easily integrated with existing equipment. With performance improvements of up to 30 per cent in both output and the reduction of rejects, the packaging system also significantly increased the speed and precision of the entire production, helping Keystone to optimise performance while catering to the demand for smaller bags.
