Investment in purchase of:
1. Machine for processing of food products under pressure by which the company implements an entirely new technology for processing of vegetable products. The innovative technological process will provide the opportunity the company to offer to the market healthy products without preservatives with a shelf life of between 40 and 60 days, which will lead to:
- Offering healthy products to end users;
- Reduction of the vegetable products waste, which is generated as a result of expired expiry period of the product at the end points of sale;
- Ability to maintain optimal stocks of new products and improve the execution of orders received from customers.
2. Line for canning vegetables in jars, through which:
- An entirely new technological process will be introduced - canning in jars
- The product mix will be improved by adding new products to the company's portfolio, namely lutenitsa, ajvar, meligano.
The opportunity to implement the new technological process will engage year-round workers in the company, who are usually less busy during the summer-autumn period due to the seasonal nature of the current product mix of the company (consumption of Russian salad and Snejanka in the autumn-winter period). This will allow optimization of production costs
3. Equipment for automated sludge processing, leading to a reduction in the amount of sludge generated as a result of the company's production activities, which will have a positive impact on protection of the environment.
4. Construction of Photovoltaic Power Plant (FPP) 460.46 kWp for own consumption, which will reduce the cost of electricity per unit of product produced and will have a positive impact on the environment by reducing harmful emissions.
