Hansen\u2019s expectations.<\/p>\n<p>According to Torsten Steenholt, EVP Global Operations at Chr. Hansen, two criteria for success were crucial to Chr. Hansen when choosing their supplier and partner on this project; the ability to meet a very high level of hygienic requirements and providing an effective and high level of automation during production.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hygienic requirements when producing bacterial cultures are much stricter than for other types of food production. We needed a supplier that could provide this in their application solution for cultures, along with the automated functions, and GEA accomplished this task to our great satisfaction. Furthermore, the high level of hygiene and the automated production process have enabled significant cost savings,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the installation took place while existing production lines were running added to the complexity of the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A successful collaboration between GEA and long-term customer Chr.
