Food & Beverage

Ruprecht, a division of Kilcoy Pastoral Company, is a solutions-driven meat processor and food manufacturer in the USA. Ruprecht produces perishable products for other companies, necessitating the fulfilment of brand requirements of multiple third parties. Clear visibility of the production process and each batch within production is crucial to ensure that goods are manufactured to meet the requirements of Ruprecht’s customers. Because they deal with a large turnover of perishable products, Ruprecht’s focus is on continual improvement in the areas of cost containment and traceability.

This company manufactures food products on behalf of a leading South African retailer. The products range from
packaged snacks such as muffins and sandwiches through to pre-prepared meals for home consumption. Products of this type have a particularly short shelf life measured in terms of a few days rather than weeks or months.
