IFFA REVIEW - INTERVIEWS<br />

Marcel Veenstra,<br />

Marketing & Communications<br />

Manager,<br />

SEALPAC International bv<br />

What kind of innovations did you showcase<br />

at IFFA?<br />

Under the motto “It’s all about your costs!”, we<br />

presented a SEALPAC A6 traysealer for the<br />

TraySkin® system that provides excellent shelf<br />

life and an attractive 3D product presentation<br />

at retail. We also introduced our SEALPAC<br />

PRO-series thermoformers, which stand out<br />

with their small footprint yet large loading zone.<br />

At the very heart of our stand, we presented a<br />

fully stocked supermarket with exclusive pack<br />

innovations from around the world, all produced<br />

on SEALPAC traysealers and thermoformers.<br />

Among those innovations: attractive portionpacks<br />

with highest convenience that contribute<br />

to reduced food waste.<br />

What makes your solutions unique and what<br />

differentiates you from your competitors?<br />

It is SEALPAC’s philosophy to build packaging<br />

machines that are reliable, long-lasting and<br />

future-proof. What makes us unique, is that<br />

we offer our customers a standard machine<br />

that can run all different packaging solutions,<br />

even in the future. All it requires is a quick<br />

tooling exchange with minimum downtime.<br />

Since some of the top trends addressed<br />

at this year’s IFFA were resource and costefficiency,<br />

as well as sustainability, what is<br />

your contribution to these topics?<br />

We, for example, presented the EasyLid®<br />

system on a full line solution with our SEALPAC<br />

AS-LS1200 denester and SEALPAC A7<br />

traysealer. This innovative system combines a<br />

unique injection-moulded tray with a special<br />

tray-sealing technology, allowing for sealing<br />

and lidding in one single step. Next to savings<br />

in materials, no additional lidding system is<br />

required, meaning the production line will<br />

have a much smaller footprint.<br />

“It is SEALPAC’s<br />

philosophy to<br />

build packaging<br />

machines that are<br />

reliable, long - lasting<br />

and future-proof.“<br />

What would be your future challenges in<br />

terms of innovative solutions that would<br />

meet your customers’ requirements?<br />

The challenge will always be to create new<br />

solutions that provide added value to all<br />

parties involved (manufacturers, retailers and<br />

consumers), but we will continue our promise<br />

to build traysealers and thermoformers with<br />

quick returns on investment owing to their<br />

performance, flexibility, economical consumption<br />

of materials, efficient use of energy and low<br />

maintenance requirements.<br />
