GLK Foods, LLC of Appleton, WI, the largest sauerkraut producer in the world, relies on flexible equipment that handles frequent changeovers with minimal downtime. The family-owned manufacturer and contract packager dates to 1900 and currently manufactures sauerkraut at plants in Bear Creek, WI and Shortsville, NY.
When a labeler on a line at Bear Creek could no longer meet production requirements, company personnel began looking for a replacement that could handle frequent changeovers, nine different round glass and plastic containers, and multiple sizes and shapes of cut-and-stack paper labels.
