A world-leading international candy manufacturer has selected Siveco for the implementation of a maintenance improvement system at its Guangzhou factory, which produces candies for local and export markets.

Siveco China already has significant experience with parts of the food chain in China: upstream with ingredient manufacturers, downstream with food retailers.

This latest contract also adds to the growing list of Siveco customers in South China's Guangdong province, which includes Carrefour (retail, 20+ sites), Changcheng Property Group (facilities management, 30+ sites), International Paper (packaging) and Magneti Marelli (automotive supplier).
