Case studies: Production of unrefined mint oil
Customer
Callisons is a company from the USA with over 100 years of experience in manufacturing mint oil as an additive flavour for the food and cosmetic sectors.
Their main factory is located in the city of Los Angeles. However, they use different varieties of mint when manufacturing their products, sourced from different locations around the world, such as India.
Project
India produces a large quantity of unrefined mint oil, so the company proposed to commence manufacturing in Pune, with a new facility capable of cold blending different types of mint oils.
INOXPA provided a technical and professional solution that covered every phase of the project: design, equipment manufacture, supply and installation, right through to implementation
