Chef Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning Blends consolidates manufacturing operations, installs automation
To meet the increasing demand for its products, Magic Seasoning Blends recently consolidated its two separate manufacturing and warehouse operations into one 125,000-sq.-ft. blending, packaging and warehouse facility. The company stocks 800 to 1,000 different spice ingredients, acquired direct from growers and distributors in various parts of the world. The ingredients are received by pallet loads of 50-pound boxes or 1,000-pound super sacks, coming from specific lot numbers in the growing fields to ensure uniform taste.
The plant environment is climate controlled to maintain consistent air temperature and humidity for the entire process of receiving, storing, blending and packaging. This minimizes product caking and streamlines throughput.
