Eggenkamp welcomes the early barbeque season which noticeably increases demand for Culinar’s
spices. A few years ago in 2015, Lyckeby Culinar greatly needed to modernize its facilities.

“They were run-down. We really needed to develop our production and create a new layout for dosing, bag filling, and palletizing. When looking around for different solutions, Vebe’s fully automated bag filling system quickly stood out to us on the international market. The system seemed well suited for our needs”.

Said and done. Lyckeby Culinar left its semi-automatic production line and opted for two sets of Vebe Autopac as well as two fully automated palletizers.

“That improvement was very welcomed. We had increased our sales and needed to maintain a higher production pace. When the new facilities had been up and running for five years, we supplemented them with a third automated bag filler, Autopac EC. We are very happy to be able to manage production in the way that we do today”, says Emiel Eggenkamp. 

For Lyckeby Culinar, the investment has meant a substantial reduction in manual handling. Today,
the company produces considerably more than before but with the same amount of staff.

“Vebe has truly met our needs. They conducted test runs of the new equipment prior to delivery.
Our own mechanics managed assembly, but when the time came to launch the systems, Vebe was
present to make sure that the overarching control systems ran smoothly.”

“Vebe’s experience and expertise in systems for bag filling and palletizing have benefited Lyckeby Culinar”, asserts Emiel Eggenkamp.

Now he hopes that demand for the company’s spice mixes will continue to rise. If it does, preparations for another expansion will commence.
