TURNKEY SOLUTIONS
quickly while keeping investments low and maintaining product quality.” Regardless of the solution needed, Morli recommends that confectionery manufacturers partner with a company that is able to offer end-to-end expertise, world-class project management, and a comprehensive aftermarket service that complements a complete solutions portfolio. “For optimal line productivity, manufacturers should work with a provider experienced in the entire production process – from kitchen operations and starch conditioning to mogul tray handling, de-moulding, product cleaning, finishing, depositing, distribution, packaging, and case packing,” he says. “Such a provider should be able to support a consultative and collaborative approach to setting up the entire production line and should be able to provide continued support beyond installation.”
Describing a turnkey solution Asked to define a turnkey solution Stefania Montalti, Communication Manager at CEPI described it as a solution that makes the user independent. In practice this means that the solution needs to cover the process from its starting point to its conclusion. Secondly, the solution should be diversified in order to support any materials and processes the user wishes to include, without the need to involve any other suppliers. The solution provider also needs to possess all the expertise needed to design, build and commission the system. Last but

not least, Stefania said that it is very important that the system provides data related to its own operations – a system that is not able to do this should not be called turnkey.
Offering his definition of a turnkey project, Günther Sauerschnig, Head of Global Sales Consumer Foods at Bühler, explained that a turnkey project generally starts long before any ground is broken and is rarely ends when the keys are handed over to the customer. Another defining element of a turnkey solution is that no two turnkey projects
will be the same. “Depending on the region and the availability of trained staff, a turnkey solution could also include the task of hiring or training a well-coordinated operator team or could even include permanent in-plant service engineers,” says Günther. Of course, the most important element of any turnkey project will always be the future-proofed setup, which is able to take into account relevant and changing market needs will help ensure that the solution pays for itself time and time again.
