The most popular sorts are raspberry for yoghurt (approx. 20 t), followed by peach/maracuja for yoghurt (approx. 16 t) and strawberry for milk (approx. 14 t).

 

Out of approx. 173 t fruit preparations can be made approx. 960 t finished products.

 

Filled in 0,25 L beakers this results in a total quantity of approx. 3,8 millions beakers. If each of the approx. 500 children of the primary schools of Weiz would consume one beaker every day, each child is provided with fresh fruit milk and fruit yoghurt products for 21 years and 4 months.

 

Out of approx. 26 t fruit juice concentrate can be produced approx. 182.000 L finished fruit juice drinks. This volume filled into 0,5 L-PET-bottles results in an amount of 364.000 bottles. One pallet of PET-bottles consists of 2.052 pieces, i.e. the yearly production of ready fruit juice comes to approx. 178 euro pallets.

 

All cardboard boxes, canisters and bags stacked one upon the other result in a height of 1984 m which is six times higher than the Eiffel Tower in Paris!

 

With approx. 2.600 cultures our customers are able to acidulate approx. 26 millions L of milk and to manufacture to milk products.

 

Assuming that each 0,25 L-beaker involves 1 drinking straw, then there were produced approx. 7,3 million pieces of beakers with school milk resulting in a total volume of approx. 1,825.000 L of school milk.
