The Sports Nutrition Specialists
Matcon works with sports nutrition manufacturers around the world. We understand the challenges of your industry:
- Demand from customers for innovative new products which increases the number of changeovers needed during a production shift.
- The sticky, poorly-flowing consistency of whey powder and new plant proteins which compromises some equipment.
- The increase in allergens in new recipes which means more clean-downs and cross-contamination risks.
Despite these unique issues, we’ve designed highly-efficient systems that have helped sports nutrition manufacturers grow their businesses: they’ve met the whims and peaks of consumer demand, whilst reducing waste and improving their production efficiency.
