Saint-Louis Sucre and Tacom Collaboration: A Winning Dosage Solution

Saint-Louis Sucre, part of the Südzucker group, is a leading sugar producer in France. Known for its tradition of innovation and commitment to quality, the brand faced challenges when adopting an integrated cardboard spout in its sugar packaging.

The Failure of the Integrated Spout

The integrated spout, directly built into the cardboard packaging, proved ineffective. It failed to ensure a hermetic seal or practical dispensing functionality. Consumers began reporting difficulties with the packaging and sugar loss due to leaks from the integrated pouring spout.

Returning to TACOM Pac Spout

Recognizing the shortcomings of the previous solution, Saint-Louis Sucre partnered with Tacom and Betti Macchine to improve its packaging line. The issues with the integrated spout were resolved by introducing Tacom’s cardboard spout, a more reliable and functional alternative. Betti Macchine re-engineered the carton handling process to integrate Tacom’s pour spout, ensuring a hermetic seal and superior user convenience compared to the integrated solution.

A More Efficient Packaging Line

With Tacom’s Pac Spout integrated into Betti Macchine’s packaging machine, Saint-Louis Sucre improved both consumer experience and production efficiency. The upgraded line, capable of handling up to 130 cartons per minute, proved versatile across various product types, allowing the company to maintain high-quality standards and market competitiveness.

This collaboration between Saint-Louis Sucre, Tacom, and Betti Macchine turned a challenge into an opportunity for innovation. The introduction of Tacom’s pouring spout resolved issues with the previously supplied integrated spout and proves how experience and adaptability can make a significant difference in the packaging industry. This solution provides value not only for sugar producers but also for consumers.
