The company, being a new start up, needed to find a sympathetic supplier for its production equipment requirements, as any production line problems could prove severely detrimental to Frontier’s long-term future.
The choice of partner for this type of system was not taken lightly, as it was vital to Frontier Foods to make the right choice to ensure the longevity of the business.
After extensive trials at Rospen the Frontier team were so impressed with Rospen’s product quality and the accuracy of its feeding systems that they chose Rospen to develop its production line.
The new system that Rospen designed for Frontier took the raw materials in a bulk form and using a system of loss in weight feeders produced a uniform product continuously.
Rospen were involved at every stage of the system’s development, from concept and design, through to final installation and commissioning, which included installation of structural steelwork at Frontier’s facility.
The end solution was provided on time and within budget and continues to provide exactly what Frontier required, that is a reliable, efficient and easy to maintain production line facility.
“We chose Rospen for their innovative ideas and ability to deliver a system that would enhance our business” states Paul Chapman, Supply Chain Director for Frontier Foods. “We have been more than pleased with the system, from initial design through to final implementation, it has allowed us to remain competitive in our marketplace” he added.
“Frontier Foods were a great start up company that used our expertise in their initial set up” stated Tony McGeever, Managing Director of Rospen Industries. “By working closely with them we developed a system that did exactly what they required. We look forward to working with them on an ongoing basis as their business further develops”, he added.
