Harpak-ULMA partners with Cabinplant to offer enhanced automated packaging solutions in North America, focusing on seamless integration and smart, connected systems.
Harpak-ULMA, a leader in packaging machinery and solutions, has entered into a strategic partnership with Cabinplant, an innovator in multihead weighing and food processing systems, to expand their offerings in North America. The agreement allows Harpak-ULMA to distribute Cabinplant’s fixed-weight packaging systems in the US and Canada, creating an integrated solution that enhances production efficiency, streamlines operations, and reduces the complexity of packaging line integration. The partnership focuses on offering a fully automated, 'plug-and-play' system designed to meet the increasing demand for smarter, more connected packaging solutions in industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical devices.
At the core of this collaboration is the integration of Cabinplant’s cutting-edge multihead weighers into Harpak-ULMA’s existing packaging platforms, enabling precise weight control and optimized packaging accuracy. This setup eliminates the need for multiple vendor solutions and ensures a smoother, faster implementation process for manufacturers. The systems are tailored for products like seafood, poultry, and ready-made meals, which require high levels of precision in weight distribution. Cabinplant’s systems, known for their high accuracy and minimal product giveaway, are now complemented by Harpak-ULMA’s robust packaging platforms, creating a comprehensive, turnkey solution.
The agreement is also in line with Harpak-ULMA’s broader mission to provide smart, connected packaging solutions. Through the use of advanced manufacturing software, the integrated system will allow for real-time monitoring, data analytics, and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) tracking. This connectivity ensures manufacturers can monitor performance, detect inefficiencies, and make data-driven decisions to optimize their packaging operations. Kevin Roach, CEO of Harpak-ULMA, emphasizes that this partnership helps manufacturers achieve faster production ramp-ups, reduced downtime, and greater operational transparency, which are critical in today’s competitive market.
The integration of these advanced systems also simplifies regulatory compliance for food safety, especially in industries like meat and seafood processing, where precise packaging and traceability are essential. The combined solution allows companies to adhere to stringent food safety regulations while maintaining high productivity levels. Furthermore, the advanced weighing systems help reduce product waste and giveaway, resulting in significant cost savings for manufacturers over time.
Harpak-ULMA's customers will benefit not only from the improved efficiency but also from the comprehensive support services provided by the company. These include package design, technical training, and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal equipment performance. The support infrastructure ensures that companies can quickly adapt to new production demands or packaging requirements with minimal disruption.
This partnership represents a significant step forward in the evolution of packaging technologies, offering a unique blend of precision, efficiency, and connectivity that addresses the needs of modern manufacturing environments. As industries continue to evolve toward automation and smarter systems, the collaboration between Harpak-ULMA and Cabinplant provides a competitive edge to companies looking to streamline their packaging processes while maintaining high standards of quality and compliance.
The solutions offered by Harpak-ULMA and Cabinplant will be showcased at major industry events such as PACK EXPO, providing manufacturers with the opportunity to see the systems in action and explore how they can be applied to their operations. With the increasing push for automation in the packaging industry, the timing of this partnership could not be more opportune. By offering integrated, high-precision packaging solutions, Harpak-ULMA and Cabinplant are set to redefine packaging efficiency in the North American market.
