| 14/04/2008 - GB Environmental divisional reorganisation to target the Food and Drink Industry |
GB Environmental, one of the world’s key manufacturers of advanced ultraviolet (UV) treatment equipment, has announced a divisional reorganisation of the company to focus on the Food and Drink industry. The reorganisation follows on from the company’s recent acquisition of Kaiku Ltd, which now joins the group as Kaiku Process Solutions to help it focus on this key market sector.
Commenting on the announcement, Sales and Marketing Director Ralph Coney, says: “It makes sense to manage our business in three divisions to tackle the specialist needs of different sectors. Kaiku’s expertise in product monitoring for the Food and Drink Sector perfectly compliments our UV capabilities providing the abilty to offer total solutions to this industry. Our GB Municipal division will cater for Municipal and Industrial water users. The UV Care division will continue to specialise within Healthcare, the Built Environment and Leisure.”
The Kaiku Process Solutions division, within GB Environmental, is the result of the company reorganisation and the acquisition of Kaiku Ltd. This means that GB Environmental can now offer Kaiku’s unique patented i-Pipe, an on-line fluid monitoring system, which detects changes in the chemical formulation without the need for invasive probes or manual sampling. This gives benefits such as greater control of ingredients and throughput, minimal downtime in the event of problems, elimination of manual errors and also minimises batch waste and prevents recalls.
The i-Pipe advanced monitoring equipment compliments GB Environmental’s existing range of cutting-edge UV treatment solutions for the Food and Drink industry. UV disinfection can be used in many aspects of food and drink production, from the supply water to finished products, ensuring at every stage that microbial contamination by bacteria, viruses, yeast and moulds is kept to an absolute minimum.
GB Environmental has an impressive portfolio of products that allows the company to offer UV solutions for liquids, solids, air and water. Combined with the process monitoring capability, the GB Environmental group now offers a complete solution to food and beverage processors.
