Orchard House Foods

Founded in 1981, Orchard House Foods was the first business in the UK to commercialise freshly squeezed orange juice. They remain the UK’s market leader in ready-to-eat fresh fruit products, fresh fruit patisserie and drinks for leading UK retailers.

Orchard House Foods adheres to strict cleaning protocols, using large quantities of water to sanitize their factory equipment. Unfortunately, this often leads to equipment instability and eventual failure. The most critical challenge they face is with their Line Verification Barcode Scanners, essential to their quality control processes. These scanners are costly to replace and install, posing a dilemma for the company as they strive to reduce their carbon footprint. Was there a more sustainable solution?

Instead of purchasing new scanners or opting for expensive repair exchange services, Orchard House Foods turned to Easy2PC. With our extensive experience in manufacturing and electronics, we were ideally suited for the task. We removed, repaired, and re-installed the barcode scanners at a fraction of the replacement cost, ensuring they were back in full working order without the need for costly alternatives.

Partnering with Easy2PC has allowed Orchard House Foods to achieve several key benefits, including significant cost savings by using local expertise and a reduction in their carbon footprint by extending the life of their existing equipment.
