Leiber GmbH is a renowned producer of foodstuffs and animal feeds and has over a period of years utilized the most modern technology for plant automation in order to consistently keep its production plants (including control components) in line with the most up-to-date technology. ProLeiT AG is supporting the company in taking these measures to improve plant safety and in particular to ensure seamless batch and product tracking in the foodstuffs plant in accordance with the IFS (International Food Standard). Leiber GmbH was founded in 1954 and still remains today a 100% family-owned company. In addition to high-quality animal feed products, the company has also been producing foodstuffs since 1994 in the form of flavor enhancers and nutritional supplements.

The basis for the production of the foodstuffs is brewers’ yeast procured from selected large breweries from which the yeast proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates and vitamins are extracted in their natural structure via a natural enzymatic disintegration procedure and processed into various end products. In relation to nutrition supplement products or products supporting the immune system such as for example beta glucan, the production process must be seamlessly documented and all raw materials must be capable of assignment right through to the end product. In order to satisfy these requirements in accordance with EU Regulation (General Food Law), Leiber GmbH decided on the GMP-compliant, modular Plant iT process control and batch system from ProLeiT AG when faced with the pending replacement of the existing Alfa Laval controller.
