At interpack 2026, Syntegon will launch two brand-new machine platforms \u2013 HFX for horizontal flow wrapping and TRX for top-loading cartoning \u2013 along with its Smart, Seamless and Touchless automation features.<\/p>\n
In conversation with Packaging Journal, Stephan Sch\u00fcle, Director of Product Management at Syntegon, explains how these innovations address the industry\u2019s biggest challenges: rising cost pressure, growing flexibility demands, stricter regulations and the ongoing shortage of qualified labour. He outlines Syntegon\u2019s vision of a factory that is more automated, more intelligent, and allows people to focus on value-added tasks instead of repetitive work.<\/p>\n
Sch\u00fcle also makes the case for Syntegon as a strategic lifecycle partner \u2014 supporting customers from modernisations and training to digital data services that keep productivity high across the entire machine lifetime. Highlights from the new launches include a redesigned HMI, the Guide-by-Light operator concept, and a digital data approach that makes machine information available both on the line and remotely in the office.<\/p>
