A Solution for Companies Using HPP (High Pressure Processing)

HPP, high pressure processing is growing in popularity. It is an effective means for destroying harmful microbes and bacteria without the use of heat. It allows food processors an alternative to heat pasteurization. The method requires the filled and capped product to be placed into high pressure chambers that are filled with a fluid and pressurized. At the end of the pressurization, the product (usually plastic bottles) is re-introduced to the production line. Currently, there is only one company that offers a means to effectively re-introduce the product without the use of human labor. That company is New England Machinery, Inc. (NEM).

NEM is known for their packaging machinery engineering prowess. They have developed a machine that will automate the integration of the plastic bottles back into the production line. If you are considering HPP to destroy the harmful microbes and bacteria without destroying beneficial vitamins, minerals and flavor, you need to learn more about how NEM can help in your production line. Call us today at (941) 755-5550.

Your Company’s Values & Ethics Start With You

If you want to work for a company that deals honestly and ethically with everyone, it has to start with you. Look at the manner at which you approach your work, duties, and responsibilities. Are you always giving 100%? Do you cut corners occasionally? Do you overlook things because it is easier than correcting them? Do you spend company time on personal matters (such as surfing the internet)? It is easy to make excuses for what seems like a minor thing. However, if you add up each and every minor infraction and times it by the number of employees in the company, it is suddenly a ‘big thing’.

The ethics and values of a company must be practiced by every employee, every minute of every day. If you want your company to be a company you can be proud to work at, become an employee that reflects that attitude in all you do, all day long. Make 2016 the year for improving your own personal performance. If we all improve by just 10%, collectively our companies will improve exponentially, and we will all benefit as a result.
