Success despite COVID-19: GEA commissions customized edible oil refining line for Oliyar remotely

In 2019, a producer in Ukraine specializing in edible oil refining selected GEA to expand and optimize its existing production facility. Already a GEA customer, Oliyar, had ambitious goals: to improve oil quality, increase machine availability and process productivity, and reduce fixed costs while keeping their up-front investment low. GEA engineers brought their full process expertise to the task, designing a tailor-made refining line that exceeded the customer’s expectations. When COVID-19 made travel impossible, GEA devised and executed a plan to commission the line remotely, completing the project to Oliyar’s complete satisfaction despite the pandemic.
