In the food industry, automation lines often consist of machines from different manufacturers, which can mean more work in the design phase. A strategic merger between Multivac and Handtmann is now set to remedy this situation. The companies offer line solutions from a single source for the production of packaging for sausage products, minced meat and moulded or dosed products.
„In times of high competitive pressure and a rapidly increasing variety of products, many food producers are longing for relief through simplicity - for line solutions from a single source that can be planned, installed and operated quickly and economically. To meet this demand, we have expanded our network of excellent partners and entered into a strategic partnership with Handtmann - the world's leading manufacturer of filling, portioning, forming and dosing systems.“
Christian TraumannManaging Director at Multivac
Both companies can now offer joint line solutions for the production and packaging of sausage products, minced meat, moulded products such as burgers, as well as portioned products for a wide range of industries. The filling and portioning technology of Handtmann for tray sealing or thermoforming machines from Multivac as well as line expertise, such as the Multivac Line Control (MLC), supplemented. Customers save up to 40 per cent of time in the design phase alone thanks to working with just one contact person.
„Coordinated interfaces guarantee significantly shorter installation times and a high level of reliability for the line solutions. In addition, the process control and monitoring of the entire line through digital solutions multiplies the rationalisation effect.“
Harald Suchanka, Chairman of the Management Board at Handtmann
The partnership also provides that Multivac is the exclusive distributor and service provider for Handtmann machines in the following countriesAlbania, Australia, Greece, Iceland, Israel, Kazakhstan, the Middle East, Mongolia, North and South Africa, New Zealand, Uzbekistan and India. In addition to sales, the company's experts also take care of the installation and warranty of Handtmann components - including all after-sales service work and the supply of spare parts.
