Bartlett’s potatoes packed by Bosch machinery

Sixty years on, Albert Bartlett is now, arguably, the UK’s leading vegetable supplier and is run by the third generation of his family.

The company’s packing site, in Airdrie, Scotland, is perhaps the most modern and environmentally friendly facility of its type in Europe and the company now packs and distributes over 600,000 tonnes of potatoes, carrots, onions and parsnips each week.

Bosch at Bartlett’s

Bosch started its relationship with Bartlett’s with a trial SVK 3600 bag form fill and seal machine stationed next to an intermittent Ilapack machine at Bartlett’s old Airdrie factory. The trial results prompted the company to purchase Bosch machinery, which beat off competitors’ machines with better reliability and ease use for the operators. Currently, five different types of Bosch bag makers are in use at factories in Airdrie, Boston (England) and at Bartlett’s new plant in Jersey.
