DOST SETUP FOR THE SECOND TIME. Guaranfood Manufacturing Corporation in San Pablo City, Laguna, is one of the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) SETUP re-availers. SETUP (Small Enterprise Technology Upgrade Program) assists small enterprises via equipment upgrade, training, and loan assistance, among others. Manufacturer of dressings, condiments, sauces, and pickles (above), the company has availed SETUP assistance twice: first, for the improvement of its packaging facility and second, for the improvement and upgrading of its equipment. Among the equipment acquired under SETUP were a stainless steam jacketed kettle, form-fill seal sachet packaging machine, and product printer. These have increased Guaranfood’s production capacity for sauce production, improved production process and product quality, and minimized bottleneck and machine downtimes. Photo above shows Hon.
