The modern PET filling line for beverages in wide-neck bottles replaces the existing plant in Sursee (LU) and is a sustainable investment in the future of the company. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, water and steam consumption as well as the use of cleaning agents, among other things, can be significantly reduced. Yesterday, Tuesday, April 12, 2022, the plant, whose total cost amounts to 19 million Swiss francs, was officially commissioned in the presence of Christoph Richli, Managing Director of RAMSEIER Suisse AG. As part of this official commissioning, the new product RAMSEIER's Huus-Tee Swiss Fruits was bottled.

The new PET wide-neck filling line enables RAMSEIER Suisse AG to respond even more flexibly and agilely to customer needs. The investment is an important part of RAMSEIER Suisse AG's commitment to sustainability. "The reduced pre- and post-run during filling further reduces product losses per batch and thus food waste," explains Managing Director Christoph Richli. The plant to be replaced had been in operation for 19 years. The filling hall at the Sursee site was extended in advance to make room for the new line. The new line will be used to bottle still, non-carbonated beverages. The development of this product segment has been very positive in recent years, as evidenced by the popularity of RAMSEIER's Huus tea. This is why RAMSEIER Suisse AG decided to invest in a line that exclusively fills beverages in wide-neck PET bottles. The line has a filling capacity of 12,000 PET bottles per hour. In addition to the new PET filling line, the Sursee site also operates a PET filling line for narrow-neck bottles, a glass filling line, two lines for soft packs, and a bag-in-box filling line.
