“Time to market” is a primary concern for every company in this sector. IMA BFB Division can provide rapid solutions that not only meet the needs of a highly dynamic market, but are also easy to add on to existing systems. The need to cater for consumer demand has resulted in a huge variety of product shapes and sizes, while the primary aim is still to preserve the integrity of the contents.
The robust, reliable machines in the IMA BFB Division range can process many different types of heat-seal film, paper or cardboard, every type of pack available on the market and can handle multiple product configurations.
Most advanced technology
The division is in a position to offer a complete range of services in the end-of-line phase which is crucial for guaranteeing the final results of the overall packaging process. It is in fact in this phase, when the product has already been packaged, that a number of essential operations need to be performed in order to permit the final product to be fully protected, easily stored and transported, and to have the correct appearance.
The application of the most advanced technology together with the continuous research of new solutions, allow the use of materials that are environmental-friendly and meet customers’ requirements worldwide also in terms of after-sales assistance.
