Some of the products available include:

Lines and equipment to form and close cardboard boxes
Wrap-around systems
Pack-master systems
Tray forming machines
Multiformat automatic models to allow simultaneous working with boxes of varying dimensions
Assembling and loading systems
Palletizers and Robots
Conveyor belts
Weight controllers
