Israel-based low-sodium salt producer Salt of the Earth has introduced a new €1m automatic packaging production line for tablets and granular salt products.
The new line uses rolls instead of traditional premade polyethylene (PE) bags and has been designed to improve quality and expand packaging options. The transition from premade bags to rolled packaging materials is set to yield annual investment savings to the company.
