Cheese manufacturer Jermi sought increased production to overcome challenges in the packaging process.
Cheese producer and supplier Jermi regularly supplies supermarkets with sliced cheese such as Gouda and Edam. Plastic blisters containing varying types of cheese are packaged in display cartons for this purpose. Jermi needed a new packaging line in order to make the existing production significantly more efficient. To achieve this, a special challenge in the packaging process had to be mastered: The more holes a packaged sliced cheese has, the higher the plastic blister will be. Therefore, the packing heights of the blisters vary constantly. Schubert developed an efficient system for Jermi that successfully tackles this challenge.
What began 120 years ago at Jermi Käsewerk GmbH with the production of cheese and butter for locals has developed over four generations into an international company with 370 employees. Still based in Laupheim-Baustetten near Ulm, Germany, Jermi produces its own processed and fresh cheese specialties and supplies sales, gastronomy and food manufacturers in the sector.
