Food and beverages packaged for consumption out-of-home, on-the-go, or for delivery directly to consumers continues to play an integral part in the active lifestyles of many, so it is vital that manufacturers maintain the safest possible processing standards.
Food safety can be enhanced by using specialty lubricants, and our Klüberfood 4DC (direct contact) vegetable-based technical processing aid allows for the removal of all traces of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) from your production processes.
Transcend Packaging launched their first paper straw in 2019 ahead of the EU Single Use-Plastic (SUP) ban, becoming the first major producer of paper straws in Europe. Today, they are the European leaders in paper straw production, providing these and other items, such as cups, moulded fibre lids and cartons to global brands including McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell, and Starbucks.
The strategic partnership between Klüber and Transcend will allow each company to continue to go the extra mile for both customers and end users by evolving the prodcution process, applying an even safer, higher quality lubricant to machinery, and creating an overall enhanced experience.
Transcend’s sustainability credentials will also grow, as Klüberfood 4DC facilitates lower lubricant consumption by optimising performance and application to reduce waste generation.
“Each manufacturer has a responsibility to find the best available solution and maintain the safest possible manufacturing process – especially when it comes to products which are used with food and beverages. At Transcend, we’re never happy with standing still and are always on the lookout for new ways to develop our existing product portfolio for an even more sustainable future and to stay ahead of shifting regulation and policies". Lorenzo Angelucci, CEO Transcend Packaging
