Herbal market demand drives production upgrade

Market growth and greater demand for the brand was stressing the production side supply chain. The existing table top encapsulation machine was too small to meet customer demand necessitating a move to outsourcing in order to keep pace with volumes. But growing market demand for herbal supplements as a sector was pushing lead times from outsourced production to 3-4 months. This was clearly not a sustainable solution for the brand.
The S3B-25-C from S3B Machinery was chosen, because not only was the machine type was familiar, and great value for money its very easy to train on.
Return on investment was really quick, the new machine recouping its cost inside 6 months as well as allowing much greater market agility for this client than outsourcing.
