The demand for healthy, organic cereal-based products is on the rise, with revenue in Canada for breakfast cereals alone expected to reach 1.2 billion US dollars by 2021. Consequently, manufacturers need to expand their production capacities and equipment. The Vancouver-based cereal and superfood manufacturer Nature’s Path offers consumers high quality, organic and planet-friendly products whilst demonstrating that packaging need not cost the earth. In order to reduce material waste and boost production efficiency, the company reached out to Bosch Packaging Technology, now Syntegon Technology.
Nature’s Path Foods, Inc. offers premium, organic and sustainable products to customers all over the world. The company cares about the health of its customers and the planet, which is why the company is committed to promoting sustainable practices in the food industry. Nature’s Path was one of the first companies to sign onto the Food Trade Sustainability Leadership Association’s Declaration of Sustainability. By upgrading their case packing equipment with a solution from Syntegon Technology, Nature’s Path managed to significantly reduce cardboard consumption while also boosting production efficiency.
ON THE PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY
Founded in 1985, the company has adjusted to a number of developments in the retail industry, including the recent trend towards wholesale warehouse clubs and supercenters. These retail outlets offer larger package sizes for customers who want to bulk buy staple ingredients and stock their pantries. In order to meet this demand for wholesale products, Nature’s Path decided to offer their products in large stand-up bags and folding cartons of up to 1.25kg. For their corn flakes, granola and crunchy cereals weighing between 325g and 1.25kg they began to look for more flexible options.
