Filling solutions in Gable Top cartons

Over 30 years ago a young man with a passion for engineering, Galdino Candiotto, designed and built his first filling machine. That’s how Galdi was born. The “Number 1” machine was the response to a specific need of the family dairy as well as of many other local dairy owners: shifting from glass-bottled to carton-packaged milk, thus opting for a more flexible, economic and sustainable solution.

Today we are still working and evolving with the same goal in mind: to fulfil the needs of our customers and ensure their satisfaction.

Since embracing Lean Production in 2010, Galdi has sparked a revolution involving all its employees and suppliers alike. From the warehouse to the production area, outstanding results have been achieved that have considerably reduced wastes and improved efficiency.

For instance, we enhanced the testing area by modifying the assembly bay layout and optimising the supply system, and created a closed-circuit system to recycle 100% of the deployed water. A more innovative and efficient testing process cuts down set-up times and prevents issues during the start-up phase, to the benefit of our clients.

Meanwhile, the Agile approach has been adopted to improve the Innovation Rate and streamline our production processes. The first tangible result has been the creation of a shared Agile Prototypes Area, where our skilled professionals work together every day to design, try out and test new solutions.
