Info

• There has been a trend to consolidation and rationalization of manufacturing facilities. This has probably dampened demand for packaging machinery somewhat, although sell-offs of facilities many also create additional demand. (For example, one of Canada’s largest dairy products producers recently announced that it was closing two plants and selling another yet it also announced it would be adding $10 million in new fixed assets associated with this rationalization). • With the continuing soft and uncertain economy, there has been significant emphasis on reducing labor and gaining efficiencies. Associated with this has been a trend to machines with faster throughput and faster changeover times. These influences taken together have created demand for more technologically advanced equipment to deliver these benefits. • The improvement in processing speed is, in turn, driving the need for faster components to keep up with the faster throughput of the packaging line. This covers such elements as inspection equipment, printing equipment, cartoning equipment and palletizers • A few producers report that the uncertain economy has caused them to be more willing to consider used machinery. This has even impacted some that have never considered anything but new equipment in the past. (For example, one of the largest food producers reported that in certain circumstances it would now consider purchasing used machinery.) • Companies in very competitive, consumer-sensitive industry segments or very marketing-driven companies report that the resultant frequent and rapid changes in package sizes, package type and features and design are important drivers of demand for new packaging machinery that can accommodate this. These companies report that packaging machinery manufacturers must be able to deliver quickly and on time in order to comply with marketing program needs. • With the increasing complexity of packaging machinery and the need for better control and co-ordination of the elements in packaging lines, there has been increased demand for turnkey solutions or system integrators. • The changes in food products labeling that will be driven by the mandatory nutrition labeling regulations to be implemented during the next three years will have a major impact on packaging machinery purchases. This has led to the following trends in types and specifications of packaging machinery demanded by the marketplace: • Packaging machinery that is more versatile/flexible, and able to accommodate rapidly changing packaging requirements, a wider range of package sizes and an increased number of SKUs. • Closely tied to the first point is packaging machinery that can accommodate faster changeover times with lower labor input. • Packaging machinery that will reduce labor input, improve productivity and efficiency and reduce costs. • A direct outcome of the search for labor saving opportunities is demand for increased automation and robotics, particularly at the end of the production line.

This translates into demand for automatic case packing machinery and automated palletizers. • Packaging machinery that offer higher speeds yet improved reliability. • More advanced inspecting machines and process control equipment to maintain quality at higher speeds. • Improved printers and labelers to accommodate faster speeds, more complex marketing programs and more elaborate labels that must contain more information. As equipment becomes more sophisticated, buyers are becoming better informed and more critical and selective in their equipment purchases. The development of sophisticated, technologically advanced, equipment has increased the need for high quality local service and support. This means that the quality of the skills of the imported equipment manufacturer’s local representative (distributor, agent or employee) is increasingly becoming a critical factor in the purchase decision. The market is reacting to the fact that advances in packaging machinery technology are continually being introduced at a rapid, escalating rate. This means that buyers in high volume packaged goods industries are evaluating suppliers more critically, which has led to less loyalty being exhibited towards suppliers with which they have dealt in the past. These buyers want to take advantage of the new technology, and they are willing to support innovative suppliers focussed on product enhancements and market need. 2.8 COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING MECHANISMS Trade Exhibitions Almost all organisations surveyed attend the Canadian PACex International trade show in Toronto. In addition, most organisations attend their industry’s specialised trade exhibitions, especially in the beverage and food processing sectors. All of the organisations surveyed regularly attend PMMI’s PACK EXPO International trade exhibition in Chicago. A smaller proportion attend PACK EXPO in Las Vegas. A few organisations reported that they regularly attend the Interpack, which is held every three years in Düsseldorf, Germany. Trade Magazines Most of the organisations surveyed regularly read Canadian Packaging, Packaging World, and Engineering. A few respondents also mentioned that they read: • Packaging Strategies • Packaging Digest • Manufacturing SMG/Columbia Consulting Group Page 24
