R&D investment
Through its 50 years of industry experience, Reiser has established a proven reputation as a leading supplier of sausage manufacturing, processing and stuffing equipment. The company’s range of equipment in this area ranges from its Seydelmann grinders, cutters and emulsifiers to Vemag branded portioning stuffers and linking equipment. The full line of Reiser machines and attachments can also be fully optimised for deployment within sausage plants and sausage kitchens of all sizes. Further to its extensive collection of sausage making equipment, Reiser is also able to supply a comprehensive line of packaging equipment ranging from its Variovac form, fill and seal packaging machines and Ross tray sealers to Supervac vacuum chamber machines.
This extensive breadth of manufacturing experience is further carried into the markets for meat, poultry and seafood products where Reiser offers comprehensive solutions for forming, check weighing, depositing, cutting, dicing/slicing, grading/slicing, mixing, injecting, muscle stuffing, smoking/cooking/ chilling and packaging activities. “Reiser continues to invest in research and development (R&D) projects across all product lines, which enables the development of new applications and improvements to existing lines to be made on a regular basis,” Richard says. “The recent addition of the Vemag XP to the company’s range of vacuum fillers represents just one example of this. The Vemag XP underpins what is already a leading market solution and introduces the most powerful and efficient vacuum filler in the world, while maintaining the double screw at the heart of the machine that ensures that food products are handled as gently as possible.”
Proven reputation
By continuing to invest into its R&D operations, Reiser is able to fully respond to the individual needs of its clients as well as the wider trends that exist within the food processing and packing industries. By leveraging its proven reputation with its on-going development operations, the company is set to endure as an innovative market leader while remaining fully committed to its core values of quality and service. “At Reiser we see an ever evolving market and while there are clear changes in wants and needs of consumers generally, there will always be a need for meat and dairy products,” Richard concludes. “However that is not where our capabilities end, we are also specialists in bakery solutions including gluten free and other diverse food processing and packaging products. As markets and volumes continue to fluctuate, we will further endeavour to observe new growth opportunities, while never losing sight of what our core business is.”
