GoodWest Brews Success with Scholle IPN Bag-in-Box

Situation

GoodWest Industries® started as a small dairy in Pennsylvania, USA and has grown into a multi-national company specializing in shelf-stable dairy products, iced coffee, liquid sugar, iced tea and nacho cheese. With continued growth over a 15-year period using Scholle IPN bag-in-box packaging, GoodWest was ready to take the next step in production and market penetration and needed a reliable, high-speed low-acid filler to meet customer demand.

Opportunity

Through a series of in-depth planning sessions and development phases, Scholle IPN and GoodWest were able to define a strict set of criteria for a successful low-acid bag-in-box filler. High throughput, sterilization and aseptic filling ability were a priority for the project in order to meet GoodWest’s production and quality needs.

Results

The Scholle IPN SureFill® 30 Low-Acid filler has since increased GoodWest’s production capabilities by nearly 75%. The filler is versatile and allows for filling through different spouts and can work with several Scholle IPN fitments, allowing for future product and market expansion.
