Wymbs engineering delivers key depositing showcase for Interpack

Wymbs, the UK-based equipment and systems group, has reported a strong response to its exhibiting appearance at this year’s Interpack in Düsseldorf, Germany, which has made a well-received return after a six year pandemic-enforced break, reports Neill Barston.

As previously reported, the show opened last Thursday with a dynamic series of launches from small, medium and larger-sized enterprises across the machinery sector, including those specialising in systems for confectionery and bakery.

Based in Stockport, Greater Manchester, the business has gained decades in producing pressurised manifold depositors for aerated chocolate products, as well as working with a number of leading biscuit and wider confectionery manufacturers in delivering bespoke solutions for the sector.

The company has previously been a regular exhibitor at ProSweets, as well as having formerly appeared at Interpack, which this year is aiming to repeat the performance of its last edition in 2017, which attracted a total of 170,000 visitors over the course of the week-long event.

Director Kevin Wymbs, believed that the return to the event was proving fruitful for the business, which has continued to export its depositing systems around the world. Speaking to Confectionery Production, he said: “It’s great to be back on show again and in our usual place in Hall 4.

“We have met lots of new customers and you can feel the upbeat approach to meetings. It was good to feel the “we are all in it together” feeling between suppliers as well, with sharing supplier contacts and pointing customers in certain directions. Always a proud point for us is when we realise how popular such a small company like Wymbs is in our field.”
