The challenges facing distilleries

The world of distilleries is full of numerous challenges to overcome. Alongside topics such as energy management, increasing competition and the demand to develop innovative solutions, understanding specific market requirements and risks is also essential.

Before launching a successful product, it is crucial to deal intensively with the raw materials. It is important to choose the best techniques and approaches to flavor extraction and distillation and to develop a deep understanding of the flavor nuances that will win over consumers. Since it is a world in which quality and authenticity count and which also offers the necessary space for creativity and innovation.

Alcohol is highly flammable and the production of beverages with a high alcohol content poses quite a significant risk. Safety precautions are vital and defined precisely by law. This industry is, therefore, faced with the challenge of combining tradition and craftsmanship with modern techniques of production and stringent safety standards. Besides specialist knowledge, this also demands continuous adaptation to changes in market conditions.

In this challenging environment, it is crucial to have the right partner on board. Utilizing its more than 37 years of experience and high-performance automation solution, Plant iT, ProLeiT provides distilleries with the foundation for a sustainable competitive edge and helps develop their future readiness.
