SternMaid will highlight its services for customised powder and granulate blends at this year’s Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona. Together with its sister companies SternVitamin and SternLife, the contract manufacturer will showcase its extensive service portfolio – from blending to refining and packing. A new state-of-the-art filling line for environmentally friendly cans made of more than 95% cardboard has further expanded the company’s capabilities.

From lifestyle products to diet drinks and sports nutrition, the new packaging line enables SternMaid to fill powders or granulates into almost fully recyclable cardboard cans with cardboard bottoms. This not only ensures compliance with legal requirements but also provides customers with future-proof packaging solutions that combine sustainability with functionality. The cutting-edge facility handles various can formats, with filling volumes ranging from 100g to 1000g.

As a full-service partner, SternMaid offers tailored solutions with a high level of quality awareness and state-of-the-art technology for blending and refining powdered foods and dietary supplements. Its multifunctional fluidised bed processor, for example, enables additional refinement steps such as agglomeration, spray granulation, coating and microencapsulation for precisely defined product characteristics – from improved solubility to optimal tabletting properties. This gives the company the necessary flexibility to meet a wide range of customer requirements.

Said Mark Riemer, member of the Management Board at SternMaid: “In the production of innovative health and lifestyle products, we see ourselves as both solution provider and partner to our customers. Whether they need partial or full-service support, we offer tailored guidance exactly where it’s needed. With our latest investments, we’re ideally positioned to respond flexibly to both market and customer demands.”  For more visit Vitafoods stand # 3G122 or at sternmaid.de/en/
