A company built with passion, innovation and a sustainable vision for the future, the combined group is a unique player in the market in terms of product range and commercial reach. To follow original press release that details the Karlville Swiss transaction.
Adding the Karlville Swiss brand to the In.Pack group, will ultimately create one of the strongest and well-funded machine companies in the world for bag & pouch packaging converting. Using the FPA Meeting as our first market introduction, the brands within the Sustainable Polymer Group; Karlville Swiss, Mobert, Amutec & SCAE produce machines for the converting of bags & pouches. Made from plastic or paper, the material focus is recyclable, recycle ready, compostable, biodegradable, and bio assimilated. The machines produce lose bags, wicket, side seal, bag on roll, pouches, and spouted pouches formats.
For loose bags & side seal, the focus is mailing & ecommerce as well as food, industrial, medical and security packaging.
For Wicket, the focus is food, industrial, medical, personal care, diaper as well as toilet paper packaging.
For bag-on-roll, the focus is machine produce bags for trash, recycling, medical, industrial & produce. For lose bags, the focus is on grocery, waste collection & industrial applications. These machines can be positioned off-line or integrated in-line to extrusion machines.
For pouch, the machines produce, standup, flat bottom, side gusset, quad seals and spouted pouches for food, cannabis, medical, pharma, OTC, industrial, cosmetic, home & personal care, and multiple industries served by flexible packaging.
In.Pack North America has ordered several machines including a Wicket, a Multiple Lane Bag-on-Roll and two Pouch machines for Miami technology center. The technology center is co-located within Karlville Converting in Miami. The space has the capabilities of show casing numerous machines with strategic film and paper partner relationships. We welcome the industry to come visit to see the latest in technology, expected for end of summer, beginning of fall 2023.
As the distribution and service arm for the Americas, the plan is to use the current Karlville Converting American based organization to expand In.Pack business in the region. Selling & servicing has been the foundation of Karlville since the foundation in 1996. Karlville’s back office and experienced service team will morph into a dedicated In.Pack team that will work side by side for the expansion in North America.
In.Pack North America most recently expanded with new hires to cover market. To start, Tim Fox, will cover the Western half of the USA, based in Wisconsin. Tim brings to the table a strong flexible packaging equipment background with his past experiences at AVT, PCMC, HP and MPS. For the east, Rocco Panetta, will cover the Eastern States based out of New York. Rocco brings to the table a strong background in converting starting from extrusion and flexographic printing to in-line bag converting and pouch manufacturing. Previously selling new and used pouch and bag equipment worldwide, Rocco worked most recently with Pearl Technologies. A strong team, directed and supported by Raul Matos as EVP of Sales & Marketing, and John Price as President, the plan is to grow the In.Pack business in the USA to become the leading provider of bag and pouch converting machines within the next three years.
Looking toward 2023 & 2024, we are planning numerous events as well as investing in multiple machines to land in the USA toward the fall of 2023. To start, we will be present at regional shows for the FPA, FTA, Converter Expo and Dscoop.
