Heiber + Schröder, the established supplier of Tray forming and Window patching equipment has recently closed a two machines deal with Parksons Packaging Limited in India. The new machines are to be installed in Parksons plants in Sricity and Pantnagar to assist with the production of ‘liner cartons’ (bag in the box) as they are locally called. The two Speedliner machines add to the eight existing Heiber + Schroeder units for this client making a total of 10 machines, after their first equipment was installed in 2006.
In India, most of the spices, tea and different types of dairy products are packed within a box containing a flexible tube (paper made for example) which isolates the product and avoid is its contact with the environment. The tube is formed, sealed and then glued to the box in a window patching machine equipped with a tube forming station. The Speedliner is the most popular model on the Indian market.
“India is one of our top three markets and having sold 100 machines in India means a huge achievement for our company and consolidates our market share in the region. Currently more than 90% of all ‘liner carton’ in India is being produced with our equipment. Moreover, we are happy to share this growth with our appreciated customer,” says Gustavo Cuata, Managing Director, H+S. “Parksons, who is about to receive their 10th machine, which means at the same time the symbolic #100 machine sold for us. The Speedliner is without question the most productive liner carton machine on the market, with an output close to 30,000 pieces of ‘liner carton’ per hour, ease of use and a number of technical improvements specifically developed for the Indian market. This model was born with the Indian market in mind and it keeps evolving according to our customer’s needs. Service wise, we work hand by hand with our local agent Bobst India, for a best in class customer care and of course efficient sales support.”
