IMA Hassia wins repeat stick-pack order from Saudi dairy producer Wardat al Mashreq

Saudi Arabian dairy producer Wardat al Mashreq Food Company has installed an IMA Hassia S600 stick-pack filling line for processed cheese and cream products and has ordered a second unit for delivery in the first quarter of 2027. The six-lane machine fills 25ml and 50ml stick packs at 14,400 to 18,000 packs per hour, a format IMA says cuts packaging material use versus tub, triangle, square or block formats.

Why this mattersStick packs can cut packaging material by up to half versus conventional dairy formats, reinforcing machinery makers' push into lighter, lower-carbon fill formats.
