Moving from batch to continuous processing improves quality, reduces cleanup
Mixum AB started producing boiled and peeled eggs for restaurants and commercial kitchens in 1989, becoming the largest processor of cooked and peeled eggs in Sweden, handling 250,000 eggs daily. The company, in Motala about 100 miles west of Stockholm, has since expanded its product line to include fresh sandwiches, salads and a line of ready meals, sauces and dressings.
Mixum is also the largest producer in Sweden of cooked pasta, much of which is supplied to Picadeli AB, the salad bar chain popular in Scandinavia and parts of northern and western Europe. Mixum provides pasta-based salads to almost 3,000 Picadeli locations throughout Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and France, representing 35 to 40 percent of Picadeli’s total product offering.
