The company, Vista Hermosa, has chosen to maximize and improve their cherry processing line, adopting the latest Ser.mac’s technologies, dedicated to this small and delicate fruit.
"Since my arrival in 2010 – says company's director, Francisco Maldonaldo - one of the goals we set, was to modernize our orchards. In early 2011 we decided to remove kiwis, replacing them with cherry trees until we reached a total of 25 hectares. The varieties currently produced are: Santina, Rainier, Brooks, Royal Dawn and Lapins.
Innovation also passed through the installation of brand new processing line, which would enable us to achieve the targets without neglecting attention to this particularly delicate fruit. For this reason, together with the ownership we spent time looking for leading companies in processing and packaging cherries in Chile until we found Ser.mac. We got to know each other better, we visited their lines in the Curicó area; we appreciated the innovative ideas they proposed, and we have established a good cooperation which is also useful for future projects. We are very happy about this decision. This year is the first time we have processed our cherries here and the truth is, it was a total success, both for our products, and for the service we provide to other exporting companies".
Concerning future projects, these days the collaboration has been strengthened according to the companies, as the operator will install a new plant for pears and also the brand new vision system for cherries developed by Ser.mac, which will be running at the beginning of the new year. A new system, able to meet quality parameters required by the customer.
