Sovena ensures print-code quality for olive oil packaging

With a heritage dating back to the late 19th century, Portugal-based Sovena aims to bring the world the best olive oil. As one of the planet's largest producers of vegetable and olive oils—with an estimated $1.4 billion in earnings since 2015, 80% of which comes from exports—Sovena must ensure the quality and traceability of its products.

The company extracts, processes, and bottles its products in eight manufacturing plants and four mills based in eight countries for global distribution, so while speed and productivity are essential, traceability also has a key role to play.

To help fulfill Sovena’s mission to “inspire people to eat healthier and tastier by using olive oil,” the company puts its trust in Domino, and in particular the company’s Ax350i continuous ink-jet (CIJ) printing equipment (shown in the photo). Domino equipment prints on packaging for products that are sold in more than 70 different countries, typically printing in black ink the production dates for national and international markets on the bottle necks.
