Enka Süt was founded in 1985 and originally produced Turkey’s equivalent of feta cheese. Since then, it has progressed strongly and steadily. Today, the company has about 600 employees and produces milk powder, whey powder and dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt to Turkey. Enka Süt is the market leader in whey powder and exports its products to around 40 countries.

One of the company’s production facilities, in the city of Usak, has been using the bag filler Autopac
EC 5.46 from Vebe since 2019. There are several reasons why they choose to use Vebe’s bag filler. Among other things, they appreciate the high level of hygiene that Autopac maintains throughout the bag filling process.

“This machine helps us to meet the high hygiene requirements that exist in the food industry in Turkey”, says Atilla Tas, factory manager at Enka Süt’s plant in Usak.

“Other advantages of Autopac are the automation, the easy switch between bags of different sizes, and its continuous operation. We are very satisfied”, he continues.

Niclas Simonsson, sales manager for Vebe in Turkey, recounts that Enka Süt initially chose Autopac after hearing good reviews about Vebe. They were also attracted by the competitive price and the fact that Autopac is fully automatic.

“In Turkey, manual bag fillers are still common. But from a hygienic point of view, automatic is obviously better. Autopac’s well-thought-out design, with separate spaces for bag handling and machinery, also makes the bag filling process fast and efficient”, he says.

Niclas Simonsson also says that Turkey has become an important market for Vebe in recent years:

”We already have a number of machines running at various facilities in the country.”
