Recopak Machinery appointed agent for CFT Packaging

Recopak Machinery has been appointed as the exclusive Australian and New Zealand agent for CFT Packaging (Italy). Managing Director Bill Dopper said the CFT group included Rossi & Catelli, SBC, Comaco, Sima and Manzini - all well-known names in their field.

“This new agency gives us access to an even greater range of equipment, including all sorts of fillers, seamers, depalletisers and palletisers - including magnetic and robotic systems - and conveying lines.”

Applicable industries include beverage (beer, wine, water and CSD), meat, fish, pet food, milk and its derivatives, edible oil, vegetable preserves and lubricating oil.

“It’s a very comprehensive range,” Dopper said. “Recopak specialises in turnkey projects; picking up the CFT Packaging agency just allows us to offer an even wider array of machinery. We’re extremely pleased to have been awarded the agency.”

The Australian end-of-line packaging machinery specialist already holds agencies for Dimac (shrinkwrappers), Samovi Ricart (wraparound packers, pick and place packers, case erectors and robot palletisers), CPS (flexible bag packaging systems), Ciemme (cartoning, sleeving and cluster pack machines) and IBS (carton erectors and tray erectors).

Recopak also custom designs machinery, with installs across Australia, in wine, brewery, soft drink, dairy, food, fruit, household, personal care and petrochemical sectors.
