OMIC’s end-of-line RetailReady case-packing equipment manufacturing operations have been busy fine-tuning systems for installation in the coming months. “We are in the fortunate position where our raw material warehouse is well stocked and our supply chains are in working order,” notes Peter Fox, Senior Vice President of Sales for SOMIC America. “Our advanced mechatronics assembly operations in Amerang, Germany, are developing new high speed packaging equipment, such as those for snack food bars, as well as custom paperboard carton blank designs to name a few examples. Meanwhile, our U.S. team is working on installations for our ReadyPack system as well as our wraparound case packing equipment and compact systems for tray-and-lid containers. With the number of equipment orders in Germany and the U.S., our service technicians and parts and service departments are busy preparing equipment and assisting customers with all of their end-of-line equipment needs.”
