Coffee capsules: two brands, one soul
Following a successful 2016 (orders and turnover up 30%), Spreafico (Calolziocorte, LC) is getting ready for the challenges ahead by expanding and diversifying its activities.
The concern will soon make official two brands, Spreafico Automation and Spreafico Meccanica, that will answer to the concern’s ownership and work closely together to supply an ever more efficient service to the customer.
While in 2016 the company created a dedicated in-house research & development team, starting in mid-2017 its headquarters will be transferred to a new location, where Spreafico Automation will design, build and set up machines and complete lines for filing soluble coffee capsules.
Then, Spreafico Meccanica, a division dedicated specifically to the construction of precision components, will carry on work at the existing facilities, mostly at the behest of its “big sister”.
With new impetus, the expansion of the concern’s machine portfolio will continue, in formats ranging from two to twelve tracks, and always more flexible and efficient than before.
Already, the concern is able to supply not only filling and sealing machinery, but also equipment for assembly only of the capsules, able to control the insertion of the paper filter.
A note: the concern has recently formed a partnership with the Polytechnic of Milan to study the behavior of thermoplastic materials under different production conditions.
