Swiss cheese manufacturer Imlig,
based in Oberriet, has just installed
a new high-performance machine
from cutting specialist holac into
their line operation. For Imlig, the
focus was on being able to process
a wide range of different types of
cheese with a single machine. The
high demands on hygiene were also
decisive in the company choosing
for holac.
The new cutting machine is an integral
part of the production line. Imlig
specializes in large industry packs
for hotels, restaurants and canteens,

holac has helped us to close a very important
gap in our product range,"
says CEO Urs Imlig.
Top performance in terms of service
and hygiene
Imlig was also convinced of the ease of
use and hygiene: "We have also found
that the machine is very easy to dismantle,
clean and re-assemble, which
is vital for the production of food."
The cheese manufacturer Imlig focuses
on the quality and reliability of
the systems: over 60 employees work
in the company, some of whom work
in three shifts. Up to 1,000 tons of
cheese ripen in the fully automated
warehouse, 50 percent of which is exported.
