MAJMM Polman，驻皇家专员 泽兰, officially opened on Friday, September 18, the new, fully automated potato receiving area at Lamb Weston/Meijer, producer of frozen potato products and dehydrated potato flakes.
With the symbolic transfer of a bucket filled with potatoes, Mr. Polman opened the new state-of-the-art facility, in the presence of all the parties involved. “This enables Lamb Weston/Meijer to be a step ahead of their competitors and to be a frontrunner in the Dutch food processing industry,” said Mr. Polman.
Lamb Weston/Meijer invested 20 million euros in the automated potato receiving area, consisting of three lines at the Kruiningen plant. After receiving them, the potatoes are checked directly at entry, washed and then sorted, all fully automated.
此外，这个新的马铃薯接收区还为我们的运输者和驾驶员带来了好处。 除了诸如单独的等候区和就寝区之类的设施外，该位置还提供了最佳的物流效率，极大地减少了现场的等候时间和不必要的物流移动。
克鲁宁根工厂运营经理Rinco Boender表示：“这个新的马铃薯接收区可帮助我们更好地响应市场需求，并提高生产灵活性。 接收和分类区域基于首次使用权原则。 马铃薯可以立即通过机器正确分类，从而获得最佳质量的马铃薯。 这使我们的最终产品受益。”
CEO Bas Alblas is proud of the result: “Together with our employees and chain partners (growers, suppliers and customers), Lamb Weston fulfils its promise of ‘Seeing possibilities in potatoes’, with the implementation and commissioning of this complex project.”
