Fromagerie d'Austerlitz Cheese Shop

For his Fromagerie d'Austerlitz in Lyon, France, manager Jérémy Richard needed a customised, highly flexible weighing solution for the cheese counter. The equipment needed to be easily adaptable to new conditions after the shop was renovated. With its modular design, the K-Class Flex PC scale was the perfect solution.

hen Jérémy Richard buys cheese, the right variety must be available for all the customers of his cheese boutique.

Artfully arranged, the Fromagerie d'Austerlitz's cheeses are a delight not only in the shop, but also at festive occasions, where elaborate cheese platters are created.

Extensive Experience with Bizerba

When Jérémy Richard took over the fromagerie from his predecessor Didier Galland in April 2024, the question of the best partner for his technical equipment was quickly answered. Richard has been a cheesemaker for ten years and has gained a lot of experience with scales from Bizerba during this time. Although the models changed, each scale always met the respective requirements. Richard also remembered that Bizerba products are very high quality and that the company offers a fast, reliable service. And so he sought advice from sales representative Christophe Bessodes from the Bizerba Small Retail team.

Modular Weighing System as the Perfect Solution

The requirements for the right weighing solution were not ordinary. Richard needed equipment that could be perfectly integrated into his counter, and the system also needed to be modular. Richard had plans to remodel his new cheese boutique, and his scales needed to be adaptable to the changes. The Bizerba technology team succeeded in solving this task. The swiveling 12" monitors of the K-Class Flex PC scales - Richard is 1.90 meters tall, one of his employees 1.60 meters - were attached to the display cabinets and the scales to the counter, with careful attention paid to inconspicuous cable routing. In the end, all of this was implemented to Jérémy Richard's satisfaction. The conversion can begin!
