Transfer of Technology and Audit Preparedness
We accompany groups seeking to enter the ready-to-use food (RUF) or Super Cereal markets, as well as those seeking to scale-up or optimize existing systems or processes. We strive to achieve a reorientation of all aspects of the supply chain that is more centered on those affected by crisis and are well positioned to support producers of both specialty foods and non-food items operating in countries or regions affected by crisis in adhering to the increasingly stringent due diligence standards and specifications required by the main buyers of their products. Our services include but are not limited to:
Custom plant design
Including land and energy management, light and ergonomics, pest control, flows for raw materials, semi-finished products, production staff, finished products, waste etc, and strategic planning for gradual scale-up of production
Production equipment
Including sourcing and qualification, strategic selection (dimensioning) for easy scale-up, automation, training of personnel and maintenance
