The German vegetable producer Rapp GbR specializes in organic farming. The company earns most of its income through sales at weekly markets south of Stuttgart. Until now, Rapp has been using Mira scales from METTLER TOLEDO, which are now an end-of-life product. As part of the introduction of a new ERP software, Evi Rapp decided to modernize the company’s weighing equipment. To find the perfect solution she tested two FreshBase Tower scales from METTLER TOLEDO under real conditions. The tests included daily transport to the weekly markets and the weighing of different vegetables and fruits. In the end the scales convinced Rapp from start to finish. Today the company has a total of 13 FreshBase Tower scales in use.
