In some respects the processes are similar

Any amateur cheese known these small marks embedded in the crust that are used to authenticate the appellation of origin of his favourite reblochon. There is a high probability that they have been manufactured in the workshops of Labelys, Bellignat (Ain). "We are quedeux France and three in the world manufacturers and our market is international", welcomed the Jean-Paul master, Labelys patronde.

This job requires a "special" know-how that earned this structure of seven employees "The heritage of the living company" label awarded by the Ministry of economy, industry and employment. These medallions indelible and tamper-proof are made from casein, main milk protein, and have the advantage of being totally biocompatible with cheese. And it is impossible to remove it without damaging the crust. "We buy the casein powder from two producers, an industrielet a cooperative", racontele leader, forty-nine years old. Training chemical engineer, he started his career as a Director of a laboratory for physical chemistry in the Eridania Béghin-Say group returning in 2004 to this small fiftieth activity with Plasthom, an independent plasturgiste. In some respects, the processes are similar. Thus, the first stage of transformation of casein is to polymerize under high pressure this raw by mixing it with plasticizers, all vegetable additives. This paste is then worked on recipes kept secret until a very hard "biopolymer" block of 200 kilos. It is then place on productionen lines very fine leaves up to 600 metres long, and this manipulation is particularly sensitive. Just then the phasesde cutting die with specific tools, and then printing with inks suitable for food contact. Labelys clients are also powerful industrielsde agri-food that require his large series of small producteursde France and elsewhere for some units. In any event, the products are made to the application. "We export 45 of our production in countries with strong cheese tradition such as the Italy, the Switzerland and the Spain." We sell also in Germany but also Russie.Il is then industrial cheese. "And we rely on local distributors," said Jean-Paul master. He is able to offer a dozen formats différentset a range of eight colors; which, given the variations of size, translates into a thousand references. They are first used to identify the products of appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) and are a way to control for the syndicatset interprofessional organizations that manage the AOC. The specification is then regulatory: marks oval and green pourle County, oval and blue for the beaufort and reblochon laitieret red, round, round and green for the farmer reblochon. Similarly, the typography is codified: model registration or height of the letters. Marks are also used as elements of differentiation marketing but, above all, they meet more and more traceability requirements. There are listed the date of production, the numbers of the vessel... In this regard, and to address constraints grandissantesde food safety, Labelys develops a system for coupling plate casein with RFID (radio frequency identification) and other systems to chip. This project supported by Oséo public bank associates partners specialized in these new technologies and laboratory of the CNRS in Lyon. This produces mariagede traditional and innovation has earned the company of craft to be winner in 2007 of Artinov Rhône-Alpes competition organized by the Chamber of crafts. To be always at the forefront of quality, it is one of the first industrial hexagonal to obtain ISO 22000 certification last year. Small, but reagent.
