Challenges for the beverage industry
In addition to the need to ensure efficient, resource-conserving and sustainable production, the beverage industry faces ever-increasing energy and raw material costs. Energy costs, in particular, pose a significant burden, as many production process steps (mixing, cooling, aerating, conveying, filling, palletizing) are very energy intensive. Furthermore, the demand for packaged products continues to rise despite numerous sustainability measures, and consumers increasingly expect individualized offerings. All this is placing added pressure on manufacturers to provide a diverse range of products while also adhering to stringent standards and norms.
Overcoming these complex challenges necessitates innovative approaches and solutions to maintain competitiveness and achieve sustainability goals.
