GEA Builds New Cheese Plant for Dairy Brand Madeta in the Czech Republic
GEA has built a new cheese making plant for dairy brand Madeta in the Czech Republic. The new plant, which has a staff of 150, can process up to 400,000 liters of milk a day – twice the capacity of the company's former facility.
The new plant in Planá is one of four production sites operated in the Czech Republic’s South Bohemian Region by Madeta, the country’s biggest dairy group. Each day, the plant produces up to 42 tons of hard and semi-hard cheese, including Maasdam, Emmental, Edam, Gouda, and Tilsit. The new facilities use cutting-edge technology, enabling the company to maximize production, maintain high quality standards, and respond more quickly to the changing needs of the market. Although the old production plant had reliably served Madeta for many years, the upgraded technology and production methods provided an opportunity to improve efficiency, yields, and technological safety, as well as increase production.
