It recently upgraded its packaging operations by installing a Model R140 horizontal thermoform/fill/seal rollstock machine from Multivac, Inc. to handle 1-lb retail packages.

Ted Arena, CEO of Swiss American, says, “Pizza chains and foodservice operations represent most of our customer base for pepperoni. We have been successful in creating large packages for these markets with rollstock. But moving into retail required us to implement a faster and more efficient system capable of producing a higher volume of smaller packages.”
