Synerlink, a Barry-Wehmiller Packaging Systems company, has joined the European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group (EHEDG). By joining EHEDG, a global nonprofit foundation and worldwide knowledge-sharing community, the filling and packaging machine provider will bolster its ability to identify and pursue top hygiene and food safety practices on behalf of its customers.

“For Synerlink, hygiene is inseparable from the packaging innovation process,” said Fabien Jégo, design leader for Synerlink’s industrial packaging design group. “Before we design a new filling solution, our engineers must carefully consider hygiene and food safety at every stage of the packaging process. EHEDG will augment our perspective in this area.”

EHEDG provides members with access to several resources, including guideline development tools, training and education, testing and certifications. These resources will help Synerlink and its customers remain compliant and promote hygiene throughout the production, processing and packaging of food products.

“By tapping into global industry associations like EHEDG, we can better guide customers through the ever-changing landscape of hygienic food and beverage packaging,” said Jean-Pierre Orenge, global bottle filling product line leader for Synerlink. “The ability to connect with other equipment manufacturers, food processing companies, research institutes and public health authorities on these issues is indispensable.”

EHEDG is one of several associations Synerlink has partnered with to expand its organizational knowledge on this topic. The company has also partnered with Praxens, a microbiology laboratory, and the Centre Technique de la Conservation des Produits Agricoles (CTCPA), a French technical center assisting food industry professionals. Synerlink also maintains close connections with the 3-A Sanitary Standards, and will pursue additional affiliations and certifications throughout 2022.

Synerlink creates world-class machines and services for cup-filling, bottle-filling and form-fill-seal rigid packaging solutions by bringing together some of the industry’s most trusted brands, including Arcil, Dairy Pack, Dinieper and Ermi. Synerlink is one of several Barry-Wehmiller companies represented in BW Packaging Systems, which brings together the collective packaging capabilities of Accraply, BW Flexible Systems, BW Integrated Systems, Pneumatic Scale Angelus and Synerlink.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
