A press release issued on 2 December reveals that the British company Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd., a worldwide leading manufacturer of slitting technology for web-shaped materials joins Kampf Schneid- & Wickeltechnik GmbH & Co. KG as a part of the Jagenberg Group Industrial Solutions sector. We last saw both of these companies at the K2019 show in Dusseldorf.

Kampf Schneid- & Wickeltechnik and Atlas Converting Equipment provide machines and solutions with the highest level of technology and extensive services for their global customers. The addition of the product ranges of both companies with their highly qualified employees, as well as the clear positioning of the three renowned brands Kampf, Atlas and Titan, will further strengthen the joint innovative power and the variety of solutions.

Kampf, Atlas and Titan will continue to serve independently, innovative solutions combined with worldwide services, giving high security for their customers’ investment. The companies will create a new quality in terms of application – and process knowledge as well as automation and digitization. This will ensure the long term availability of installed machines by offering a common global service that covers all brands, using their strong networks and trusted resources. The business will be expanded by including productivity-enhancing automation solutions and state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 applications to become the global solution provider for the industry.

About the Jagenberg Group

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.
