October 2023- Mespack, a leading international manufacturer of horizontal and vertical form-fill-seal machines for flexible packaging, end-of-line equipment, and water-soluble pods machines; and Watttron, the inventor of digital heating, an innovative heating system for industrial processes, have signed a collaboration agreement to integrate the smart digital sealing technology of wattron with the flexible packaging machinery of Mespack. Both companies have decided to join forces to offer the most innovative and efficient solutions in the flexible and sustainable packaging industry. This agreement integrates technology for both horizontal and vertical form fill and seal machines, as well as the soluble pod equipment Hydroforma series. watttron brings smart digital sealing technology that integrates perfectly into Mespack machines and allows the use of complicated pouch geometries, including complex irregular shapes that have been highly demanded in recent times. This technology is really suitable for sustainable pouches and mono-material structures, which require high control and precision of the sealing temperature. This innovation of Mespack and Watttron together allows for saving 84% of energy compared to traditional heat-sealing systems, as well as a 65% reduction of the number of wasted pouches on mono-material laminates. With precise and quick temperature control, heat-sealing temperatures can be lowered and adjusted in significantly less time than in conventional processes, greatly reducing both consumption and potential risks to team member safety. This technology integrates seamlessly with Athena, Mespack's digital platform, allowing it to be used to improve quality by monitoring the sealing process and ensuring that bags are sealed correctly, avoiding potential costly loss of product.

Jan 2022 - Multivac has acquired complete shareholding of TVI based in Bruckmühl, Germany. Since January 2017, TVI has been part of the Multivac Group, being a supplier of portioning machines, among others. As regards MUltivac becoming a complete supplier of shipping packaging and processing solutions, this acquisition acts as a pivotal ingredient.

From KHS Group in the year 2022 comes the PLR High-performance Palletizer, which is newly launched in terms of creativity, considering its recent integration with modern technology to enhance productivity.

For example, in January 2022, Syntegon Technology announced that it was expanding its coffee portfolio with a PMX packaging machine for ground coffee and whole beans (Syntegon Technology). Individual modules are included within PMX thereby allowing customization of machine design as well as dosing and closing stations.

For instance, in Dec 2021, Syntegonand Shanghai Pharmaceuticals signed an agreement to build a laboratory for continuous manufacturing technology purposes in China. Through this deepened 'co-laboratory' cooperation, both firms will leverage their respective strengths towards creating a local model plant for continuous production, improving production efficiency and promoting innovation.
