At Vitafoods, SternMaid presented a diversity of solutions for outsourcing production. The focus was on processing powdered foods, food ingredients and food supplements by means of fluid bed technology. The contract manufacturer also highlighted its comprehensive range of services from purchase of raw materials, product development and warehousing to co-packing.

Fluid bed technology can be used to achieve optimal adjustment and standardization of product attributes. Through drying, coating, agglomeration or granulation it permits the manufacture of products with optimum distribution of their active ingredients. Moreover, they are dust-free, have excellent tabletting properties, do not separate, or may have precisely defined solubility.

SternMaid also offers professional co-packing. Mark Riemer, Commercial Director of SternMaid: “We have recently enlarged our plant to include a fully automated can filling line that can fill up to 90 cans a minute. We have also invested in a wrap-around packaging machine and a buckling arm robot for palletizing. With our comprehensive range of equipment we are well set up to package practically any product from the food, cosmetics or life science industry just as the customer wishes.”
