Gustavo Cuata, CEO, Heiber + Schröder, has confirmed the company recently received a two machine order from SoFruPak in Poland. The order includes one CE1000 Tray Former and one WP Proliner window patcher.
“This is a hugely significant order for us,” explains Cuata. “SoFruPak manufacture innovative packaging solutions for fruit growers who are looking to stand out in the marketplace and those who harvest the highest quality fruit. Back in 2018, they created a 100% biodegradable tray for fruits such as berries, but were outsourcing the packaging production. Then, two years ago, they bought their first tray former from us and continued to enhance the design of their trays and then bought a window patcher so they could offer a complete packaging solution to their growing customer base.”
Cuata concludes, “There is no doubt that converters around the world are now fully aware of the need for fully sustainable and recyclable packaging and for SoFruPak, it is no different. They have seen an increased demand from fruit growers in EU who want to move away from plastic punnets and move to cartonboard trays. We are excited to receive the order for two new machines from them, which will be installed in early 2022. This is yet another example of how our machines help our customers achieve better performance, higher quality and of course help to make a better world that uses paper-based packaging products.”
