MAPAX® løsninger

Building on extensive research and in-depth experience
Our MAPAX^® programme bundles a wealth of foodstuff, gas and packaging know-how into tailor-made solutions. It ensures the highest standards by taking the following into consideration:

Different types and quantities of micro-organisms that can occur when handling and processing the product
Required levels of hygiene
Delay before packaging
Temperature
Properties of the packaging material, e.g. permeability
Free gas volume within the package
Gas mixture
Residual oxygen level

Bringing you the best solutions
To bring you the best MAPAX^® solution for your individual application, we do a lot more than supply gases. MAPAX^® solutions are built on close cooperation between the suppliers of the packaging material, the packaging machines and the gases. The purpose of this collaboration is to meet market demands for efficient and cost-effective packaging of foodstuffs, at the same time ensuring consistently high quality of the product as it moves along the entire distribution chain, ending up attractively displayed in the chilled-food counter.

We work closely with food research institutes in many countries, e.g. SIK (Sweden), VTT (Finland), Campden (UK), and have numerous food-processing customers worldwide. Close collaboration with the food-processing industry has helped us to choose the best atmosphere for each individual application.
