Lala, a leader in the production of high-quality dairy products, has become a large and global company, starting from small but significant details that have been appreciated by many consumers.
For breakfast, lunch, dinner or any other occasion, Lala’s mission has always been ‘nurturing everyone’s life’ and producing high-quality fresh and natural products to be enjoyed at any time of the day.
The Mexican company, which has over 65 years of experience in the production and marketing of a wide range of milk beverages, continues growing and keeps these principles alive thanks to innovative solutions that take care of the consumer’s wellbeing.
Starting from these considerations, Lala has recently turned to SMI for the installation of the sixth shrink wrapper from the SK ERGON range for the secondary packaging of 0.25l HDPE bottles in bundles in shrink film.
Several lines for the production and packaging of a wide variety of company brands in several pack types and configurations are currently installed in the 29 plants of Grupo Lala.
The continuous cooperation between the company and its suppliers is essential for the business’ success in order to meet the growing market requirements.
Within an environmentally sustainable industrial approach, Lala has been investing in cutting-edge production technologies to improve the plants and reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of its activity.
An example is represented by the secondary packaging machines from the SK ERGON range and by the conveyor belts supplied by SMI for the new production line of Yoghurt Bebible, which adopt innovative solutions in an IoT key and ensure high levels of efficiency and plant productivity.
