Over 1,000 Corazza processed cheese packaging lines have been installed since then.
Corazza became part of Sympak Group in 1996 and was the base for the creation of the Sympak Group.

Pressed soup cubes lines Overhauling of Cheese, Butter and Soup Cubes Lines
RC manufactures high speed packaging lines for Pressed Soup Cubes and specialises in the re-engineering and overhauling of packaging machines.
Founded in 1973 in Argelato (Bologna) with the goal of re-engineering and overhauling machines built by Corazza, RC extended then its services to machines and plants manufactured by other suppliers both in the soup cubes segment (Sapal, Fette, Benhill), and in other packaging segments. It was incorporated in the Sympak Group in 1998.
|
After having gained a strong experience in re-engineering, in 1994 RC decided to enter the new machine market by designing and manufacturing a complete packaging line for pressed stock cubes, which obtained a good success in its market niche, the line consists of a press, a wrapper, and a cartoning machine.
Since 1999 the company has further expanded its business to include overhauling of processed cheese packaging lines built by the two major players of the segment, Corazza and Kustner.
Thanks to its close collaboration with Corazza - a company that counts on a worldwide sales network - RC can exploit every opportunity to enter new markets and is able to perform its re-engineering activity in the best possible way, with easy access to original drawings.
|
|
|
|
As far as re-engineering is concerned, one of RC strongest points is in the dismantling phase, when skilled engineers evaluate the conditions of the different parts and make decisions about their re-usability, which treatments are needed (cleaning, sandblasting, painting, etc.) and which parts have to be manufactured. |
 |
The market : RC sales and service network, as well as major clients, are the same as Corazza: Kraft, Nestlé, Unilever, etc. |
