Nestlé's subsidiary Leisi, Wangen, Switzerland, is using model R530 thermoforming machinery, custom-adapted by manufacturer Multivac (multivac.com), to package fresh, refrigerated Buitoni-brand rolled pizza dough.

Multivac, specialists in custom applications, developed the system during a year of testing at the Wangen facility. The machines produce the large-format, 385-g volume valve packs, evacuate oxygen, and flush the filled packs with a special protective mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide before sealing.
