Frozen seafood manufacturer doubles packaging speed with tna’s VFFS solution
Whitby Seafoods Ltd., a UK-based frozen seafood manufacturer, installed a new packaging and distribution line from tna, Dallas, Texas, nearly doubling its packaging speed. In fact, the investment provided additional capacity and seamless integration between systems, helping to save time and increase efficiency.
Whitby Seafoods specializes in locally sourced langoustines – or scampi – that are breaded and sold in bite-size portions. Whitby Seafoods recently underwent a rebrand, complete with an updated packaging design to appeal to a wider audience. New pack sizes range from between 200-300 grams in a standard pillow bag format. Therefore, Whitby Seafoods required a flexible packaging and distribution system that would allow it to expand its product portfolio and allow efficient product changes and integration with existing elements of the production line.
