GLASGOW-based Victor Pizza Company has reportedly improved productivity after investing in a new Sienna flow wrapper from ULMA.
The family-owned business supplies a range of pizza products, including a variety of healthier options. With the company experiencing significant growth, it had become crucial to enhance efficiencies and expand its operation to keep up with demand.
Victor Pizza previously had success with ULMA’s Atlanta flow wrapper and returned to the manufacturer for a solution that could integrate into its operations.
Following a visit to ULMA UK’s HQ and seeing first-hand the capabilities of the latest machinery, Victor Pizza decided to purchase a Sienna flow wrapper.
“We were impressed by the innovation at ULMA’s facilities, which made it clear they understood our needs for scalability and efficiency,” said Susan Knox, bakery manager at Victor Pizza. “The installation process itself was smooth and efficient, thanks to the professionalism of ULMA’s technicians – Andy Starling and Jason Rae – who were phenomenal during the installation. They ensured that our team was fully trained and comfortable with the new equipment.
“Compared to our old system, the new one is like night and day – our team is excited to be working with such high-performing equipment.”
The Sienna flow wrapper is said to have brought numerous benefits to Victor Pizza’s production line including a 95% cut in waste. By reducing the amount of air in each pack, the flow wrapper also allows for more pizzas per box, allowing for 14 pizzas to fit in a case that previously held 12.
The new packaging is also described as easier for customers to open, while the machine’s ease of use has boosted morale among the staff.
“Working with ULMA again was an easy decision; their technology and support have transformed our operations, making a significant impact on our efficiency and product quality. We’re excited about our future with ULMA as we expand and continue to innovate,” Susan Knox added.
