“[there is] a need in the industry to leverage the virtual space to better deliver for customers and the environment”
goods industry have set their own sustainability targets,” said Richard Clemens, Managing Director of the Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association within VDMA at interpack. “Over the past few years, packaging machinery manufacturers have succeeded in implementing sustainable packaging concepts by means of corresponding technical adaptations and newly developed machinery solutions. interpack is the showcase for innovations and, at the same time, the point of departure for developing further towards a sustainable circular economy,” said Clemens summing up. At an exclusive press conference on the very fi rst day of
the show, Gerhard Schubert gave a tour of their stand and discussed some of the key developments at the company. Here, it was reported that Schubert has seen a 23% increase in sales in the confectionery sector and the company highlighted its investments into the future with expansion projects in Craildheim and Charlotte in the USA – “it’s about being closer to our customers and offering support for them and making sure we can get the utmost out of these machines, these are
two really important projects for us,” Ralf Schubert explained. Schubert, as a complete solution provider, works with
Packaging Perspectives to collaborate with strong industry partners and is continuing to expand its Technical Centre for testing and research. Close collaboration with various packaging material manufacturers, technology suppliers and institutions is already producing innovative packaging: For the fi rst time at the interpack, the packaging machine manufacturer presented Dotlock, a technology for glue-free cardboard bonding, as well as hybrid packaging that enables fi lm and paper to be entirely separated very quickly and easily after use. tna solutions offered the Kennedy’s team the chance to step
