To gain tighter control over the supply chain, improve quality and increase throughput in its high-performance door manufacturing facility, Rytec Corporation has built a new state-of-the-art Smart Factory.
Growing from 36 members in 2019 to 107 to date, AMERIPEN includes brand owners, material suppliers, packaging converters, retailers, and end-of-life material management companies.
The center will house pilot lines for cell cultivation and precision fermentation, bridging the gap between benchtop and commercial production of alternative proteins.
The warehouse facility will be attached to Upfield’s New Century production plant through an above-ground conveyor bridge being constructed by Upfield and allowing its finished product to be delivered directly into the warehouse, with 100,000 square feet available for other customers.
