Just one month later, Want Want will start up a “Flexline FL 8/8 CA” from Oystar Hamba: in the aseptic configuration, that machine will fill and seal 115 ml cups with pudding.
“After a very good first quarter, this key order continues our success in the 2012 financial year,” explains Oystar CEO Markus Ehl. Oystar CMO Dieter Steinbach, who is responsible for the Chinese market, adds: “The machines for Want Want are Oystar’s biggest single order from China so far and represent a further step along our path of growth in the packaging business.”
Want Want is a manufacturer of rice crackers worldwide and flavoured milk in China. The company generated a total of US$3 billion in sales in 2011.With the decision to add yoghurt to its product portfolio, the company also signed a consulting agreement with the Japanese milk and confectionary manufacturer “Morinaga Milk Industry,” a longtime client of the Oystar Group. In accordance with that agreement, the two companies will cooperate in the use of their technologies used in the production of yoghurt.
