Breizon Teoranta successfully completed a trial to evaluate the SMI Pack Wrapper and Shrink Tunnel for Irish Prawn products during 2019.

The equipment was evaluated to establish how it could be used to pack a range of Irish Prawn products for the French market. The trials were conducted during the first half of 2019 and yielded very positive results in terms of ease of use, output efficiency and finished product quality.

“I’m very happy with how the equipment worked and most importantly of all, our customers were pleased with the finished product” said Guenael Trahan, Director at Breizon Teo. “We are keen to push innovation and value adding as important parts of how we do business into the future” he continued.

The trials were supported the Seafood Innovation and Business Planning Scheme. The scheme was co-funded by the Irish Government and the European Maritime & Fisheries Fund Operational Programme 2014-2020.
