Joy Food International, a Moroccan agro-industrial SME specialising in the manufacture of all types of industrial breads, has requested funding and technical assistance from the Green Value Chain (GVC) programme for its investment in a new priming line.

To better meet the needs of its customers, Joy Food International plans to install new finishing line “Starline” of the brand RONDOthat will enable JOY FOOD to produce a wide range of pastry products, as well as rolls, pizzas, doughnuts and thin-crust products, all of which will be of superior quality.

This project aims to modernise the company’s production process and increase production capacity while minimising energy consumption. The new production line is equipped with high-efficiency motors that save energy and ensure precision, in addition to new automation technologies. The new line is not only efficient and energy-saving, it also offers other advantages such as: ease of use, safety and quality assurance, as well as a reduction in the amount of waste that occurred during the old process, this investment also allows an energy saving of 18.9 Mwh/year (46%)  as well as a CO2 emission reduction of 10.81 tCO2/year.
