Gowan says the company decided
to move to european equipment
for its new bottling lines because
it tends to be more technologically
advanced than the equipment
it had been using until then.
“it’s greener, and more cost-effective”,
he says, adding that siPa
in particular provides very good
value for money.
“We are a relatively young company,
but we have a lot of experience”,
says Gowan: “our plant
in Johannesburg already has accreditation
to haCCP (hazard
analysis Critical Control Point),
and haCCP is currently being
implemented in east london and
bloemfontein too.
We invest significantly in research
and development, and we
use only quality local and international
ingredients in each of
our products”.
“With haCCP accreditation,
our customers are assured of a
product that complies with strict
international standards and compliance
with regards to quality,
health and safety, and process
controls in a manufacturing environment”.
