At Transcend , we ’ re never happy with standing still and are always on the lookout for new ways to develop our existing product portfolio .
The strategic partnership will enhance Transcend ’ s sustainability credentials - Klüberfood 4DC facilitates lower lubricant consumption by optimising performance and application to reduce waste generation . What ’ s more , Klüber manufactures the Klüberfood 4DC product with 100 % food grade ingredients from sustainable sources and of vegetable origin , free of genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) and allergens , this also ensures they are Halal and Kosher . This is in contrast to wax-based lubricants which often consist of high-molecular synthetic polymeric chains , additives and oil ( mineral oil , synthetic hydrocarbon ).
Lorenzo Angelucci , CEO of Transcend
Packaging , said : “ Each manufacturer has a responsibility to find the best available solution and maintain the safest possible manufacturing process – especially when it comes to products which are used with food and beverages . At Transcend , we ’ re never happy with standing still and are always on the lookout for new ways to develop our existing product portfolio for an even more sustainable future and to stay ahead of shifting regulation and policies .
“ We know there is going to be tighter legislation focusing on consumer safety coming into force which will impact products used in the food service and FMCG industry . We can already see that happening with France ’ s ban on the use of mineral oils in packaging materials . We want to be proactive and give our customers the opportunity to commit to the highest possible level of safety . This partnership with Klüber allows us to do that by strengthening our paper straw proposition . For FMCG and hospitality / QSR businesses who are coming under increasing pressure from shareholders , customers and staff , this gives a solution so they can continue to demonstrate implementation of enhanced food safety and sustainability practices .”
Estelle Robinson , UK market sector manager for UK Food and Beverage at Klüber Lubrication GB Ltd , explains how specialty lubricants help the food , beverage and packaging industries increase productivity , reduce maintenance tasks , and achieve higher safety standards :
“ Food safety is a serious topic , in terms of consumer products being manufactured and the production processes involved , which is why we put compliance and safety at the forefront of all we do and were the first lubricants manufacturer to raise awareness of the MOSH / MOAH topic .
As the market leaders we have developed our innovative 4DC range of processing aids , which can be used in the manufacture of food packaging
