6 NEWS Eurotek Engineering rebrands as Korutek Engineering Eurotek Engineering, the specialist provider of custom design and installation services for industrial spiral freezers, chillers and coolers, has changed its name and branding to Korutek Engineering, reflecting an emboldened commitment towards its international partners. The new name, which is derived from Maori translates as ‘spiral’ and, along with the logo visuals, reflects Korutek's specialism in spiral freezer solutions. “The rebrand from Eurotek to Korutek is an exciting evolution for the company,” said Rahim Ali, managing director of Korutek. “Under the new name, we will maintain the fantastic reputation built over several years of experience in the industry and continue to bring customers across the globe the very best industrial freezer and cooling systems.” As part of global positioning, Korutek’s rebrand signifies its commitment to clients across the world. "We are proud to work with many partners throughout Europe, but felt it was the right timing for a rebrand given our global market,” continued Ali. "Customers can still expect the same level of professionalism, attention to detail and unswerving commitment from our team to bring clients cost, time and energy-efficient solutions." ■ Blister meets Paper: Syntegon wins German Packaging Award for sustainable tablet packaging The German Packaging Institute (Deutsches Verpackungsinstitut e.V.) has once again honoured Syntegon with the German Packaging Award – this time in the Sustainability category. The jury was impressed by “Blister meets Paper”, which appealed to the health- and environmentally-conscious customer in terms of feel and appearance. Syntegon developed the innovative blister packaging together with the Finnish packaging material manufacturer Huhtamaki. The paper-based blisters are particularly suitable for nutraceuticals. In the submitted version, each blister has seven cavities for one tablet per weekday. SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE BLISTER PACKAGING While paper-based packaging offers advantages in terms of sustainability, it requires additional barrier layers to adequately protect the product without compromising recyclability. In addition, the tablets and capsules have to be pushed out of the blisters without being damaged. Matthias Klauser, sustainability expert at Syntegon, explained: “Thanks to the combination of our TPU 1000 form, fill and seal machine for paper packaging, the 3D formable FibreForm ® paper from BillerudKorsnäs, and the sealable barrier coating from Huhtamaki, we have succeeded in forming paper with the geometry required for tablets in cavities of three to four millimeters.” Huhtamaki used the same sealable barrier coating for the blister’s lidding material as in the base material, and finished it with a special process to push the tablet easily through the material. The environmentally friendly material concept consisting of a thermoformable base film and a pushthrough lidding film with barrier coating is marketed as “Huhtamaki Push Tab paper”. The thermoformable barrier and seal layer is also heat-sealable, which makes the paper blister packaging’ s barrier properties comparable to classic blister packaging made of mono-PVC or aluminum. Both the base and lidding material can be recycled. SUSTAINABLE EYE-CATCHER AT THE POINT OF SALE Blister meets Paper can also be printed on both sides, while an embossed brand logo can be applied to the top. A Euro hole can be punched in the upper area of the blister, which saves large quantities of packaging material. In the future, the paper blisters will also be available with diameters of six to 10 millimetres to package larger tablets such as pain killers. Manufacturers can also add Braille to the blisters or print a QR code for further information. The latter saves on the package insert and the cardboard outer packaging. ■ FOOD & BEVERAGE ASIA OCTOBER / NOVEMBER 2021
NEWS 7 Roquette opens a plant protein centre of expertise in Vic-sur-Aisne, France Roquette, a global leader in plant-based ingredients and a pioneer of plant proteins, has announced the opening of a centre of expertise of 2,000 square metres in Vic-Sur-Aisne (Hauts-de-France, France). The centre will enlarge the field of possibilities in terms of food innovation, new plant protein development and new production technologies. It will enable Roquette to support its growth ambitions and make a greater contribution to the food revolution and the plant-based gastronomy. The new centre illustrates Roquette’s strategy of making the Vic-sur- Aisne site a dedicated place for plant protein development. This centre will be a major asset to designing the future technological processes that will bring new plant protein properties. Expertise, innovation and technologies are critical to anticipate food market preferences and offer new gastronomic experiences. Roquette intends to introduce several new sources of protein every five years. This new asset offers enormous potential to test innovative ingredients, to further develop existing ones and to propose a tasty and nutritional plant-based cuisine for meat and dairy alternatives or specialised nutrition. The 131 employees at the Vic-sur-Aisne site and a large number of local partners have worked hard since 2005 to become a major centre of pea protein production in the world. The investment of 11 million euros in the new centre of expertise will build on Roquette’s 40 years’ experience in the research and production of plant protein and will reinforce the group’s position as a leader for food, nutrition and health markets. Jeremy Burks, senior vice-president of Plant Proteins at Roquette, said: “With this R&D accelerator in Vic-sur-Aisne, a production site with an experience of 15 years that no one else has, we will bring plant-based innovation up to a new level. We are uniquely positioned to respond to customers need as we strive to be the best partner for food innovators.” Roquette has launched a huge investment program to ensure that the plant protein supply is secure, safe and sustainable. The Vicsur-Aisne investment is part of this programme of more than half a billion euros, which also includes the investment in a textured plant protein site in Horst (the Netherlands) and the construction of the world’s largest pea protein plant in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba (Canada), which will start production before the end of 2021. ■ We create sustainability – in threefold harmony.
