New patty and ball production line to the Säkylä plant

Apetit invested approximately EUR 10 million in a new production line for vegetable and fish-based products in Säkylä. The new line doubles production capacity for patties and balls while improving energy efficiency. The technology used in the line also improves product safety and, for example, allergen management.

Vegetable and fish-based patties and balls have been among Apetit’s fastest-growing product groups for the past few years. The prospects for continued growth are bright, supported by strong growth in consumer demand, Apetit’s product development efforts and new openings in international trade.

The new production line enables more versatile product development with regard to product shapes, the raw material base, new flavours and the production of entirely new types of vegetable-based products. It also facilitates better customisation for different markets.
