SASTAŞ, chooses MULTIVAC for packaging marinated, salty and hot or cold smoked fish products

The SASTAS company, Samsun Sogutma Tesisleri A.S, has been based in the coastal city of Samsun on the Black Sea since 1978. With its processing and storage capacity of around 7,500 tons of fish per year, SASTAS is today one of the largest producers in the region. Although initially only fresh and frozen products were processed for sale, production has been expanded since 2010 to include marinated, salty and hot or cold smoked fish products. Despite constantly rising production figures and an ever wider product range, quality continues to be the company's highest priority - both in terms of the fish and its packaging.

Following the installation of a thermoform, traysealer, chamber machine and metal detector from MULTIVAC, the Turkish fish processor, SASTAS, which is located in the city of Samsun, has recently invested in a new R 245 thermoforming packaging machine. This machine was intended primarily for packing marinated fish fillets in pure sunflower oil.

All at SASTAS therefore had high expectations for the investment in a new thermoforming packaging machine. “Primarily we wanted to exploit further potential within our packaging procedure. But we also of course wanted to introduce new packs in different formats, designs and sizes, so that we could expand our product range and develop our packaging capability. The fact that MULTIVAC also has comprehensive expertise in automation, which allows the company to perfectly match all the components of a packaging line, even if some of them are third-party equipment, ensures that a high degree of reliability and security is achieved.'' says Özgür Demircioglu, General Director of SASTAS.
