ST. ALi doubles capacity with second coffee packaging machine
Specialty coffee brand ST. ALi is scaling up its operations to meet growing demand for its product — introducing a second Goglio G21 vertical form fill seal (VFFS) coffee packaging machine from Jet Technologies.
The installation of the second Goglio machine comes four years after its initial investment in the technology. The additional system has allowed the company to double its packing capabilities — streamlining the packaging process to enable an output of 20 coffee bags/min, per machine.
ST. ALi expanded into mainstream retail this year, launching its coffee range nationwide in Coles supermarkets.
Lucy Ward, Head of Operations and Sourcing at ST. ALi, said the business is now well equipped to meet the demands of its growing retail and wholesale channels.
“This machine allows us to increase our packaged coffee output and maintain the same exceptional quality our customers have come to expect, whether they’re picking up a bag of our coffee in Coles or ordering from our online store,” she said.
Jet Technologies also provides the flexible coffee packaging laminates and degassing valves that maintain the freshness and quality of coffee, and its sustainable packaging solutions have been recently adopted by the coffee maker.
Jet Technologies’ General Manager, Daniel Malki, said, “ST. ALi is a true leader in Australia’s specialty coffee scene. Their ability to constantly evolve and innovate is inspiring, and we’re proud to continue supporting them as they expand their operations and break new ground.”
ST. ALi is using ShieldCycle packaging from Jet Technologies, which features a polyolefin-based plastic structure that replaces the non-recyclable aluminium layer in traditional coffee bean packaging with recyclable layers. The packaging is designed to ensure that all components can be easily melted down and reused.
“The expansion into Coles has been a huge milestone for us, and with the addition of the second Goglio G21, we’re ready for whatever comes next,” Ward said.
