Valio Joensuu Plant
Collo helped Valio’s Joensuu plant cut significant annual costs by optimizing cream line efficiency and eliminating hidden losses.
How Valio turned hidden losses into significant gains
Even in a high-performing plant, invisible losses were draining profit and product. With Collo’s push-out optimization, Valio Joensuu uncovered the problem — and fixed it. Within weeks, Valio reduced dilution, cut waste, and saw immediate financial results. Just a few seconds of mistimed transitions had been costing them 1–2% per run.
At Valio’s Joensuu plant, Collo uncovered product losses that traditional systems couldn’t detect. By optimizing pushout timing and eliminating dilution, the plant achieved significant annual savings - without adding complexity.
With Collo’s real-time process intelligence:
- Hidden losses were detected and resolved
- Product quality and consistency improved
- Wastewater and reprocessing costs were reduced
- Sustainability goals were advanced through more efficient resource use
“This was an eye-opener. We thought there was no loss - but Collo showed us exactly where it was happening.”
— Olli Ruotsalainen, Process Specialist, Valio Joensuu
Valio now runs smarter, leaner, and more sustainably - with results to match.
Now, those losses are under control — and the savings are real. Just as important, Valio advanced toward its sustainability goals by preserving more raw material and reducing emissions at scale.
Because when every drop counts, precision is essential.
