Niche Cocoa Industry Ltd<\/strong>, Ghana\u2019s largest fully integrated cocoa processor, has successfully installed its first-ever aseptic line through Sidel. The line marks a significant milestone for the company, as it makes its first venture into milk-based products in PET with the assistance of Sidel\u2019s long-standing expertise in aseptic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe selected Sidel because of its leadership in aseptic beverage production and packaging design,\u201d said Edmund A. Poku, Niche Cocoa Industry Ltd\u2019s Chief Executive Officer. \u201cOur expectations were fully satisfied. Aseptic Liquid Dairy Products (LDPs) are complex to produce, and this was a new area for us. Sidel\u2019s technical experts and dedicated local sales and project management teams partnered with us: sharing knowledge and competencies, and providing guidance every step of the way. As a result, we have successfully introduced Ghana\u2019s first and only locally produced and aseptically bottled chocolate milk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bassam Oussaifi, Sidel\u2019s Vice President Sales, Middle East & Africa, said: \u201cWe are delighted that this project is helping our customer move a further step towards its vision of becoming Africa\u2019s leading producer of cocoa products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having chosen PET for its 100% recyclability, affordability, food integrity, and lightweight properties, Niche Cocoa Industry Ltd opted for Sidel\u2019s Predis aseptic dry preform sterilisation technology. Offering optimum food safety and product quality, Aseptic Combi Predis\u2122 has now been installed in over 200 solutions worldwide. It has made Sidel a global leader in aseptic production, a position that was confirmed by its validation by the US FDA in 2017. Known for its ease of operation, Predis also reduces water usage and chemicals consumption. Since its launch, it has successfully decontaminated more than 120 billion bottles globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both parties have worked closely together to ensure the smooth delivery of a project that required Niche Cocoa Industry Ltd to utilise Sidel\u2019s vast experience in aseptic packaging to navigate many new challenges, because of it being the first of its kind in Ghana. The line operates to a 99.6% efficiency and has resulted in a high level of customer satisfaction, noting Sidel\u2019s leadership and quest for perfection throughout the process, in addition to providing a platform for the company to take its product to market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aseptic PET solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 16,000 bottles per hour aseptic PET complete solution integrates Tetra Pak Processing Systems technologies and the Sidel Aseptic Combi Predis\u2122 with dry preform and cap sterilisation systems, two units of Gebo OptiDry\u00ae, a sleeve labeller, a VersaFilm\u00ae Access shrink-wrapping system, and finally a stretch wrapper. Sidel also supplied its market-leading EIT\u00ae (Efficiency Improvement Tool) data acquisition and plant intelligence system, widely used to support its beverage company customers in decreasing unplanned downtime, reducing waste and costs, and increasing factory output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fastest-growing cocoa producer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Niche Cocoa Industry Ltd, founded in 2011, manufactures high quality, semi-finished cocoa products for export, such as cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, cocoa cake, and cocoa powder. Based in Tema, near Ghana\u2019s capital, it is the fastest-rising local cocoa processor in the country, with an installed processing capacity of 90,000 metric tons per year. Through its consumer products arm, Niche Confectionery Ghana Ltd, the business manufactures high quality finished products for the local and export markets. These include chocolates, chocolate spreads, powdered drinking beverages and a ready-to-drink chocolate beverage. Ghana is the world\u2019s second biggest cocoa producer and provider of the highest-quality cocoa beans in bulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation and growth in the Africa market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sidel has been serving the African market for many years, working closely to help its customers in beverage, food, home and personal care packaging achieve their business objectives. It contributes to the region\u2019s economic development and sustainable responsible growth through innovations such as aseptic beverage production and other advanced packaging solutions that benefit customers and make the lowest possible environmental impact. Sidel continues to expand operations in Africa, with the opening of a new regional office in Nairobi, Kenya, to serve customers across East Africa last year.
