A TRADITIONAL COMPANY PREPARES FOR THE FUTURE WITH MULTIPOND

Requirements & solutions

A MP 28-400/400-C was followed by a MP 22-1000/400-H to drive the ongoing modernization of the packaging operation further forward. Until now, the products have been packed by hand. During the course of the automation process, output has been significantly increased and the giveaway quota reduced to an absolute minimum. And so the investment is soon returned.
