GEA : equips cosmetics plant in Thailand with efficient process technology

Since August 2016, GEA has gone through a three-stage bidding process, during which the engineers - specialized in the production of home and personal care products - first developed a master plan, then proceeded with the detailed design for the process technology, and finally have been commissioned with the execution.

Above all, GEA's strong international team and the professionalism and flexibility with which GEA implements customer ideas and presents its own ideas convinced the cosmetic group. In order to reduce total operating costs and increase the life cycle of the system, GEA used its service expertise on predictive maintenance in the detailed planning.

'We went through an intense bidding process during which we could have been eliminated at any stage', recalls GEA Project Manager Javier Galdon. 'But we made a strong impression with over 30 years of experience, among other things in the field of automation. The customer benefits from us implementing our own design. After one and a half years, we are very proud to be able to implement this project.' Following projects in Germany, Poland, Sweden and Spain, GEA is currently also building two filling process skids in Brazil for the cosmetics giant.
