The know-how in the beverage industry has a long and very well-established tradition at FAS. Many people active in the beverage industry know the tried and tested and robust machines from the plant manufacturer Ortmann + Herbst. These are still in use today, although the company has not existed since 1997. The specialist for stainless steel processing from Kummerfeld near Pinneberg (Hamburg), Jung & Co., was one of their suppliers. In this context, FAS Füllanlagenservice GmbH was established in 1997 whereby the spare parts and plant know-how was bundled with regard to services for the beverage industry. Ortmann + Herbst's bankruptcy was one of the reasons for the creation of FAS's team of highly specialised technicians and experienced practitioners with extensive machine expertise.

Initially one ensured worldwide spare parts manufacturing and delivery for the O + H beverage filling systems as well as service performance tailored to suit the local market requirements. With the company philosophy for well-founded analysis and consultation starting from the first minute on the phone, FAS has sustainably impressed many customers from the beverage industry sector - also those outside the world of "Ortmann Herbst”.

The competent contact with the team of FAS service technicians was the basis for complex enquiries for retrofitting projects for PET as well as for the implementation of complete plants. Clients repeatedly emphasise the fact that they really appreciate the constructive proposals for plant optimisation as well as the state of the art advice - also normally combined with considerable economic advantages.

Spare parts for the machinery in the beverage industry

A hand-in-hand cooperation with the innovative manufacturing specialist Jung & Co. guarantees FAS an important service advantage, because spare parts are not just spare parts. A spare part can only become the correct spare part with the right manufacturing know-how for the specific application. The close co-operation also enables a punctual delivery of the parts even in critical deadline situations. Modern 3D printing has been used since 2016 to ensure even faster manufacturing of complex spare parts.

FAS Füllanlagenservice GmbH is today regarded as an expert team for interruption-free plant engineering and supports and advises customers from the beverage industry all over the world.
