Engelhardt is a family-owned company within the food industry founded in 1962. Today, the company, which develops innovative, tasty and functional dry mixes for bakeries and other industries, has around 60 employees.

“We manufacture, for example, various bread mixes and functional mixes,” says Joakim Hansen, who works with process development at the company.

Being at the forefront is important to Engelhardt. The company is currently making one of the largest investments ever undertaken in the company’s history, focusing on further strengthening of skills, new production lines, smart packaging and innovative, state-of-the-art product development. Engelhardt has been using Vebe’s packaging solutions since the 1970s, and when it was time to replace the bag filler last year, Vebe was naturally chosen again.

“We invested in an Autopac EC 5.46. For me, it was easy to choose Vebe. They offer good service, are very accessible, and I have a good relationship with the entire service team that i know well,” says Joakim Hansen. 

What Joakim Hansen appreciates especially is the flexibility of Vebe’s Autopac.

“We can run self-produced plastic bags from a tube roll as well as prefabricated open-paper bags or plastic bags in it, which means that we can offer our customers all possible types of packaging. Vebe is responsive to what we in the industry need and their product range meets our needs”, he says.

The fact that Vebe is close geographically is also a plus, as is the durability of Vebe’s products.

“We had the bag filler we replaced in 2020 for 30 years, so the machines have a long lifetime.”
