RO095 Bubble Go solution

Packaging for food products has no secrets left for us. Our production (room) fully meets the HACCP and food legislation standards. Add to that an in-house mould production department and you can rest assured.

And, yes, we do care about the environment and eco packaging is one of our top priorities. Every polypropylene packaging coming off the belt is 100% recyclable. We invest in innovation: new shapes, other compositions and minimum use of materials. Flexibility is key.

In Belgium, we have been distributing a reliable range of packaging machines for many years. But our customers in the Netherlands, France and Germany also benefit from our in-house machine knowledge. We build our own electric dosing systems and distribute large and small machines, and also take care of maintenance.
