Visit to the production and packaging line of Vitana in Byšice
Attendees of the OBALKO congress will have the rare opportunity to visit one of the Czech Republic’s oldest and largest production facilities for food products: the Vitana factory in Byšice. Production of soup spices began in Byšice nearly 100 years ago, and since 1950 the products coming from Byšice have carried the Vitana logo. Visitors will have the opportunity to see the production and packaging facilities on the “Jíška” line, an automated packaging line that ends with automated palletization. We will also visit the warehouse for ingredients and packaging, and we will see the bottling facility, which includes four bottling lines for packaging products in both glass and plastics bottles.
