Jul 22, 2026
Lácteos Tuluá is a Colombian company with more than 40 years of experience in the production and marketing of dairy products. Throughout its history, the company has consolidated its position in the market thanks to its commitment to quality and its ability to adapt to the evolving needs of its customers.

Challenge

In a context of growth and increasing demand, Lácteos Tuluá needed to improve the performance of its packaging process without compromising the quality and presentation of its products.

The company needed to increase its production capacity, achieve a more stable process and reduce returns related to vacuum loss. At the same time, it sought to enhance the presentation of its products in order to better meet market requirements and facilitate access to new customers and sales channels.

The challenge was not simply to incorporate a new machine, but to identify a solution that could adapt to the characteristics of its products, its production dynamics and its growth objectives.

Solution

ULMA Packaging worked closely with Lácteos Tuluá to gain an in-depth understanding of its production process and packaging needs.

Over several months, the team analysed the operation, the characteristics of the products and the requirements that the new process needed to meet. This joint effort made it possible to define a packaging solution tailored to the company’s current needs and capable of supporting its future development.

The proposal was approached from a comprehensive perspective, combining packaging technology, application expertise and specialised support. As a result, the solution not only increased production speed, but also improved process stability, packaging consistency and the company’s ability to respond to new market demands.

Result

The implementation of the new solution enabled Lácteos Tuluá to increase production from 15 to 90 products per minute, multiplying its productivity sixfold.

The greater stability of the process also helped reduce returns associated with vacuum loss and achieve more consistent packaging quality.

The main benefits achieved include:

  • Increase in production capacity from 15 to 90 products per minute.
  • Greater stability and reliability of the packaging process.
  • Reduction in returns related to vacuum loss.
  • Greater consistency in packaging quality and presentation.
  • Improved ability to respond to market requirements.
  • New opportunities to access customers and sales channels.

Thanks to this solution, Lácteos Tuluá now has a more efficient and stable packaging process that is ready to support the company’s long-term growth.
