were already concluded during the trade fair itself and a large number were initiated – the task now is to follow up and process these promptly after the event,” explains Ralf Hübner, WDS´ Head of Sales. The concept of the largest trade fair appearance in
the company’s history to date was consistently oriented towards the concrete needs of the customers and the market. Consequently, the trade fair featured plants that open up customised production possibilities for confectionery manufacturers and those who aspire to become one: From the latest generation of WDS laboratory depositors
to the ConfecECO as an entry into series production, the high-performance ConfecPRO system and the innovative, chainless ConfecVARIOmachine concept, WDS exhibited flexible solutions for a wide range of confectionery products. There was also a strong focus on services and digitalisation options to provide customers with ongoing support beyond the mere purchase of equipment. “interpack provided the ideal environment to present
the latest WDS developments in the field of confectionery machines live to our customers,” said Carsten Butz, Technical Manager at WDS. He continued: “Our ConfecECO, ConfecVARIO and ConfecPRO plant types not only give our customers the ability to manufacture chocolate or jelly products, they’re also available as qualified production plants to meet customer requirements for OTC confectionery. Providing the systematic service concept LifeCycleCare and digitalisation solutions such as SweetConnect, WDS plants are a long-term investment in the future.” Over at Shemesh Automation, President Shai Shemesh,

said: “We noted that many visitors to the Shemesh booth were keen to discuss our ability to deliver complete turnkey packaging lines. Traditionally customers have tended to search for suppliers machine-by-machine, however it’s clear that the advantages in sourcing complete A-Z lines from one trusted manufacturer have become a major consideration across all sectors. For example, one global customer explained that in an ideal world, complete lines across all of their global sites would be manufactured by the same supplier because it would reduce costs, take the headache out of integration and maintenance, and make it far easier to train operators and roll out new sites around the world. “Versatility was another topic clearly on our customers’
minds. The latest advancements in robotic technology - as exemplified by our ATTILUS continuous motion capper - are finally giving the customer the ability to configure the same packaging lines for multiple complex product types, without the need for significant downtime and expensive change parts.” The Kennedy’s team were also given a tour of Syntegon’s
stand, with a focus on the brand-new SVX series of four machines for the most common vertical form, fill and seal applications in different food industries. “The new VFFS machine series combines high pack style flexibility with intuitive functionalities, giving frozen food, bakery, confectionery, and snacks producers a leg up on competition,” said Martin Boutkan, product manager at Syntegon. “Thanks to a wealth of easy upgrade options and access to
Syntegon’s digital services, the SVX series helps customers keep up with market trends while running stable processes
