Atlas Converting at K 2016

Will show its range of slitter-rewinders

August 2, 2016

Atlas Converting Equipment (UK) will present its range of primary and secondary slitter-rewinders at the K Show in Düsseldorf, Germany from 19 to 26 October on Stand 3B91 in Hall 3. 2016 is looking to be another bumper year for Atlas Converting Equipment with orders significantly ahead of the previous year and with the scheduled delivery of three 10.5 metre primary slitter-rewinders in 2016.

Being one of the first companies to develop slitting and rewinding machines to handle unwind widths of over 5 metres Atlas quickly became the industry leader in primary slitting and rewinding. By continuing to push the boundaries of engineering and process control, modern Atlas slitter-rewinders can accommodate 10.6 metres wide unwind rolls and process them at a staggering speeds, up to 1,500 metres a minute (5,000 feet a minute).

With its brands of Atlas & Titan, Atlas Converting Equipment is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of primary and secondary slitter-rewinders for plastic films, labelstock, laminates and other flexible materials. The company has to date installed more than 2,600 secondary Titan and 1,000 Atlas primary slitter-rewinders worldwide, with over 250 film slitters exceeding 6 metres (236 inches) in width.

Titan secondary slitters comprise the small footprint ER610, the highly flexible SR800 and two models of the high productivity SR9 series, one a duplex slitter-rewinder, the other a duplex turret machine allowing operators to get the machine up and running again in typically 30 seconds from stop to start.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
