Globally, around one-third of all food produced is lost or wasted — with fresh fruits and vegetables facing the highest loss rates, between 25% and 50%, due to poor handling, packaging, and processing. For manufacturers, this highlights the growing need for precision, efficiency, and sustainable food packaging solutions that reduce waste and extend shelf life.
Post-COVID, millennial and Gen-Z consumers are driving a shift towards eco-conscious packaging and supply chain transparency. Food manufacturers must adapt by embracing automation, traceability, and circular packaging formats to stay competitive and compliant with ESG goals.

- Flow Wrapping – High-speed, horizontal wrapping with excellent product presentation.
