Picomel looks to the future with a visionary production line, vertical factory saves space & energy

Some companies lead the way in terms of being visionary and making use of the latest technology. One such organisation is Picomel Nutrition, based in Zeewolde, The Netherlands. Picomel develops and produces high quality, private label bottle food for babies, toddlers and pre-school children. It provides the packaging and also produces a unique private label formula for babies who need a special diet. Some 40% of Dutch infants are given nutrition developed by Picomel.

Jan Kees Verhage, founder of Picomel, envisioned and designed the company’s ‘vertical’ factory. It’s the only factory in the Netherlands to gain a 'BREEAM-NL Outstanding' sustainability certification. His creative vision meant that he also wanted to develop the machine of the future – today. To achieve this, he enlisted the help of machine builder Van Mourik, along with automation technology from OMRON Industrial Automation.
