Keymac UK and USA attended the Fruit Logistica Show in Berlin last week. The exhibition was tremendously successful for the company and significant interest was shown by fruit and vegetable growers and packers in the existing K101 Sleever, which is already operational in Europe, and the Top Load pack introduced at the Show which is not only 100% plastic free but also uses less carton board.

We made many new contacts, both buyers and distributors, wanting to work with Keymac throughout the world.

In response to the demand to sleeve trays and pots at higher speeds, Keymac has launched the K101S Sleever which sits in the range between its exiting K101 (up to 60 packs per minute) and K201 (up to 120 packs per minute) machines. The new machine has the same compact footprint and size range capability as the K101 but can achieve speeds up to 75 packs per minute. The machine is fully adjustable without the need for costly change parts.

Keymac is celebrating its 15th anniversary in January 2020.

Since opening, both locations have supplied sleeving and cartoning systems to primarily food manufacturing companies worldwide, gaining an enviable reputation for innovative and robust machines and exceptional customer service.
