Abstract
Nine years ago, the Grolsch Brewery, Enschede, The Netherlands, decided to
invest in a new brewing plant on the outskirts of Enschede, directly at the
motorway A35. In exchange, the two old facilities in Enschede and Groenlo were
to be gradually closed down. This paper describes the initial situation and the
targets for this millennium project. It describes how these targets were
transferred into practical plant design and performance. Results of efficiency
and quality performance parameters are presented.
Keywords: efficiency, environmental protection, flexibility, new
