Food & beverages – form follows function
The requirements in the food and drink industry are as diverse as food and drink products themselves. Products today have to stand out – that’s the challenge.
Special products need special packaging – packaging that’s easy and convenient to open. And that’s where we come in. Demand for new opening systems is just as large as for ultrathin packaging steel that can guarantee stability and reduced weight.
That thyssenkrupp supplies optimum solutions for the food and drink industry is shown by our market position. The Steel Europe segment is one of the three biggest packaging steel producers in Europe. The Materials Services segment offers diverse materials for use in machinery for food production. And thyssenkrupp Uhde has developed a high-pressure process that gently makes food keep longer. We are also Germany’s only producer of tinplate, a material used in food, drink, aerosol, and paint cans.
We at thyssenkrupp are working intensely to reduce the thickness of packaging steel even further. A good example is Thinplate®, a high-end steel that combines lower thickness with consistently good material properties.
Our high-pressure pasteurization process helps food last longer – without the use of chemicals or additives. Vitamins and nutrients are retained. thyssenkrupp offers efficient solutions from process development to equipment manufacture and service.
All this makes us a strong, reliable partner to our customers in the food and drink industry. We support them with innovative materials and a comprehensive range of services.
Highest quality tin-coated black-plate – necessary for the production of keg lids and bottoms.
Food preservation at 6,000 bar for natural, fresh products – no heat, additives, no loss of nutrients. Products are processed directly in their packaging, so later contamination is not possible. It works e.g. for vacuum packs, modified atmosphere packs (MAP), or for plastic bottles. The result: up to 10 times longer shelf life and extremely high product safety. Look, texture and taste of your products remain unaltered.
