As a truly international business, itspackaging machinery is used by major clients in numerous locations, including the US,Canada, Japan and various states in Africa. In sectors such as pharmaceutical and seasonalfood retail, delays or downtime are unacceptable and CPack has established a reputation forreliable, robust products combined with responsive service and sales support.Whilst the company is successful, the management are aware that the current machine rangeis becoming dated and at the end of its development life. With the trend towards increasedflexibility and through-put machines, realising productivity gains for the clients, it is essentialthat CPack addresses its loss of competitiveness quickly if it is to ensure its longer termviability and increase market share.This project will aim to design a generic, ‘next generation’ pre-production machine forextensive trials and testing. The machine will be using a computer based technology programto replicate movements that have previously been obtained through mechanical means &equipment. The project will be the first of its kind using new technology that is bothsophisticated enough to allow this project to take place and which has only been available atan acceptable cost during the past couple of years.The key project objective is to develop a new wrapping machine designed to meet thechanging and more demanding needs of the market, that will have a life span of at least 20years and that can be manufactured at a cost that enables CPack to compete aggressively inthe international marketplace. Market research has clearly identified that the creation of sucha machine will attract considerable UK and overseas interest.
