BOOSTING PRODUCTION FOR TURKEY’S ESTABLISHED BEVERAGE BRAND
Rieckermann enhances Meysu’s cola production with high-performance can filling line
As one of Turkey’s leading beverage producers, Meysu continues to invest in modern production technologies to strengthen its product portfolio and operational efficiency. For its flagship carbonated soft drink, Meysu Cola, the company planned a new high-performance can filling line designed to meet stringent efficiency, quality, and reliability requirements—while remaining flexible for future capacity growth.
To realize this objective, Meysu drew on Rieckermann’s long-standing expertise in beverage processing and packaging solutions, specifically their integrated machinery provision and commissioning, as well as engineering execution capabilities.
Ensuring high output, reliability, and confidence from day one
High-output beverage projects place strong demands on both technology and execution. For this particular project, key considerations included:
- Achieving stable, high efficiency immediately after commissioning.
- Managing precise installation and acceptance testing within a tight timeline.
- Introducing new can filling technology with long-term operational confidence.
- Minimizing risk during the ramp-up of a core branded product.
From the outset, the line needed to demonstrate reliable performance under real production conditions. This made careful technology selection, validation, and execution essential for successful delivery and operations.
A reliable execution and technology integration partner
Meysu was supported by Rieckermann throughout the project lifecycle, who acted as the central solution and execution partner with the advanced filling technology of their partner, Hefei Zhongchen. The scope of work included:
- Supply and commissioning of the can filling line together with Hefei Zhongchen.
- On-site coordination of installation activities and acceptance testing.
- Technical support to ensure operational readiness, process stability, and performance optimization.
Although the market typically perceives established European manufacturers as the most reliable providers of technology, Meysu’s confidence in Hefei Zhongchen was strengthened through Rieckermann’s effective coordination with the technology partner. Meysu was ensured of optimized performance even in live production conditions, thanks to Rieckermann’s detailed preparation and hands-on support, increasing confidence in the selected partner.
Hefei Zhongchen also offered competitive pricing for Meysu, marking this as the first commissioned can filling line in Turkey using their technology.
Proven line performance and immediate operational benefits
The project reached a key milestone with the successful completion of acceptance testing. During extended test runs, the line achieved efficiency levels exceeding 95%, demonstrating stable and repeatable performance.
The project delivered clear benefits for Meysu: a reliable, high-efficiency production asset for their product, smooth commissioning with rapid transition into routine operations, and confidence in both the technology selected and its execution.
In addition, the future-ready production line is capable of supporting the company’s brand and volume growth, with consistent, hitch-free runs confirming the effectiveness of the overall implementation approach.
Supporting growth and expansion for beverage producers in the region
This successful commissioning demonstrates the Rieckermann’s ability to deliver fully operational production lines, not only as a technology representative, but as a hands-on engineering, execution, and service partner. For the regional beverage industry, the project also reflects the growing adoption of modern can filling solutions supported by strong local and regional technical expertise.
