A Sustainable Future for the Food & Beverage Industry

With the growing focus on sustainability in food production, CFT packaging technologies are not only technologically advanced but also designed to contribute to a greener future. Each solution is designed to optimize energy consumption, minimize waste, and require reduced maintenance, ensuring that producers not only meet environmental regulations but exceed expectations in terms of social responsibility. Our machines are therefore not just tools for efficient operation; they are steps forward towards more responsible food and beverage production, capable of embracing the necessary change for a healthier planet.

With this regard, in 2023, we became a founding member of the IMPackT initiative by EcoVadis, in collaboration with the Association of Beverage Machinery Industry (ABMI). This initiative unites companies from the packaging machinery and technology sectors, including also Krones, and Gassner. Each member is dedicated to continuously enhancing the ethical, social, and environmental standards of their suppliers across the industry’s value chain.

Through this collaboration, we are tackling significant challenges such as reducing energy consumption and improving working conditions, leveraging the power of collective effort.
