Two of the world’s leading companies in the packaging industry, Multivac and Ishida, have agreed upon a strategic co-operation to provide customers with fully integrated, best-in-class packing line solutions.
Multivac will distribute Ishida quality centre equipment, together with its own thermoformers, traysealers and labellers, under Multivac group branding in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
“The co-operation enriches both our companies and offers big advantages to our customers,” said Hans-Joachim Boekstegers, managing director of the Multivac group. “Being a world-leading supplier of packaging solutions, Multivac has a comprehensive network of subsidiaries on all continents. Ishida, in turn, has a world-leading market position in the fields of multihead weighing, quality control technology, complete lines and project management. The joint commercialisation of our solutions enables customers to profit from a high-capacity packaging line, consisting of a packaging machine tailored to their individual requirements, and compatible quality centre systems - offered through one single sales and service contact.”
Graham Clements, managing director of Ishida Europe, said: “The two companies have a hugely synergistic product and distribution fit. We are very excited about the start of this relationship, as it allows both companies to offer the customer total line solutions, to the overall benefit of our customers.”
