Q-Interline has renegotiated a new framework agreement with TINE, Norway’s largest dairy company. With this, the Danish engineering firm strengthens its presence in the Scandinavian food industry.

The new framework agreement between Q-Interline and TINE covers the supply of both laboratory instruments and in-line measurement systems for the production process, along with related support and consumables.

Over the past five years, TINE has regularly purchased analysis systems from Q-Interline, and earlier this year entered into an agreement covering support for its existing Q-Interline systems. Now, over the next three years, TINE aims to further develop its close collaboration with Q-Interline. The analysis systems will be used for continuous measurement and quality control of a wide range of dairy products, while TINE also seeks to optimize production processes by implementing in-line analysis systems to ensure more sustainable use of raw materials.

According to a press release issued via Ritzau, TINE chose to expand its collaboration with Q-Interline based on the instruments’ high operational reliability, maintenance-free design, and the option for efficient remote support—a crucial advantage for an organization with production facilities spread across large geographical areas in several countries worldwide.

The cooperative dairy company TINE is owned by around 8,000 milk producers and operates more than 30 dairies throughout Norway, from south to north. TINE also runs dairies in Ireland and the United States.
