KG, and Loesch Verpackungstechnik GmbH &amp; Co. KG have published a joint statement in which they warn of alleged replicas of their packaging machines. The companies consider this to be an impermissible imitation of their own developments and announce legal action against manufacturers and suppliers of corresponding systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>According to the three companies, machines and, in some cases, complete production lines have recently appeared which, in the manufacturers\u201e opinion, represent \u201cblatant imitations of original models\". The similarities reportedly concern not only technical functions, but also constructive details and design features which, from the companies' perspective, are not technically necessary.<\/p>\n<h2>Companies see infringement of their own rights<\/h2>\n<p>In their joint statement, Acma, Theegarten-Pactec and Loesch Verpackungstechnik explain that the observed machines do not coincidentally exhibit similarities to the original models. Rather, these are the result of \u201eintentional endeavours\u201c. According to the companies, core components as well as smaller, non-functionally relevant details are being copied.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle packa-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-2840679499\"><div id=\"packa-920992638\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The companies emphasise that their machines are based on long-standing investments in research, development and design.
