tesa reports growth of 13%
The 2012 half-year figures from tesa UK, a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Beiersdorf show growth over the same period last year of almost 13%, The strong showing is seen as
a reflection of better than predicted performance in some British manufacturing sectors and an endorsement of its tesacohesion strategy built around people, products, processes and performance. “The launch of tesacohesion
was a concentrated effort to focus on supporting customers in every aspect of their business, developing bespoke solutions, offering product testing and trialling and understanding how we can help reduce their costs and increase their profitability,” says managing director Steve Plastow. “Our distributor role is absolutely key to achieving this and we are delighted with their enthusiastic endorsement.” tesa has recently launched the ACXplus range of double-sided constructive bonding tapes which are already contributing to new business.

FAES celebrates jubilee in
FAES is celebrating 100 years
business. Founded
by Jakob Faes in 1912 as a small tool-making workshop, today the company is one of the largest Swiss service providers in mechanical engineering offering quality at competitive prices around the world. FAES has been developing
high performance slitting- and rewinding machines for sensitive foils and films for more than 25 years. The modular, colour-coded range comprises nine machines (slitters and rewinders) developed to meet a wide range of needs. The company is the world number one in the thermal transfer ribbons (TTR) sector. Years of experience with slitters and rewinders are said to guarantee maximum productivity in the converting of the materials.
On 20 September 2012 the Friends of FAES event was held at the headquarters in Wollerau. Visitors were introduced to three innovative products from FAES. The azur system designed as
an entry-level machine for BRIC countries was well received. The machine is particularly suited to small production volumes and batch sizes. System braun is designed for finishing coated/ metallised PET, BOP and BOPET films with a thickness of 1-30 m for condenser, battery and embossing films and for narrow cutting widths. The executive board of FAES
thanks all employees, business partners and friends for the past 100 years and looks forward to many more years of cooperation.

Blister technology from Romaco
Romaco is showing blister packaging technology for
special applications at this year's Taropak held in Poznan, Poland. With its modular structure and
3m length, the Noack DPN 760 is said to be the blister packer of choice of contract packaging manufacturers worldwide. The short cleaning times and
easy tool setting speed product changeovers on the blister packaging machine. All format parameters are recorded and can be recalled quickly at any time. An ideal solution for the production of small batch sizes, special packaging formats or multi-product packaging, the platen sealing execution boasts a maximum blister cavity depth of 24 mm. The system is suitable for blistering tablets, capsules, caplets, ampoules and syringes and achieves a maximum output of 60 cycles/minute. When installed in an in-line
configuration with a Promatic cartoner, Romaco says the blister
technology brings
excellent OEE values and low lifecycle costs.
