New flow wrappers for UK confectionery market
KernPack has signed a UK distribution deal to sell Italian firm, General System Pack, (GSP’s) range of flow wrappers and high speed automated lines, targeting small bakeries to biscuit, confectionery and food manufacturers.
GSP specialises in flow wrappers, high speed automated lines, end of line packaging and controlled atmosphere applications. KernPack’s main target markets for the GSP range will be the food, fresh produce, confectionery and bakery sectors, from standalone machines to fully automated lines.
The new partnership was driven by KernPack seeking a machinery supplier to create a fully comprehensive offering of wrapping solutions.
GSP’s EVO 50 model is capable of wrapping up to 150 packs per minute, suitable for food and non-food products, both for single-dose and for multiple packages.
“We wanted to strengthen our wrapping offering to the food and bakery industry and GSP will enable us to offer customers a complete range,” said Pete Jolley, general manager at Kern. “We believe we can achieve the same success in the UK that GSP currently enjoys elsewhere around the world, focusing on customers’ continual need to become more efficient and achieve an excellent return on investment.
“GSP’s customer-centric philosophy was also a great match with KernPack’s exceptional customer service culture, for which we’ve become well known.”
Corrado Pozzer, general manager at GSP, added, “Our partnership with KernPack opens up the UK and Ireland market which is an exciting prospect for us, as we continue to grow market share in Europe and beyond.”
