YPS: Packing problem solved with fast delivery of new equipment

YPS Packing problem solved with fast delivery of new equipment
Supplier News

Imagine dealing with a key item of packaging equipment going down. One well-known fitted kitchen manufacturer recently had to deal with this costly nightmare - but a replacement machine supplied by Yorkshire Packaging Systems (YPS) had them back on track in no time.

As one of the UK’s largest and most well-established manufacturers of fitted kitchens and other furniture, and with customers including housing developers and social housing providers depending on them, this producer had to keep their products moving. Following the issue, as a temporary, emergency measure, manual packing was used which proved time-consuming and costly. New equipment was needed in place as soon as possible.

The equipment in question was the company’s bagging machine, used to pack hardware fixings into bags and therefore essential for completing delivery of their products.

YPS MD, Glyn Johnson, explained: We had previously supplied sleeve wrappers and pallet wrappers to this kitchen manufacturer, but not bagging machinery. They knew that we could also supply this and were pleased with the quality of the products we supply and the service and support we offer, so they contacted us to discuss what they needed.

Following discussions, YPS delivered two Sharp Max 12 bagging machines, within just a few weeks of agreeing the order. These high-speed machines can each pack up to 50 bags per minute. As a plug-and-play machine that’s simple to use, the equipment was up and running with no delay. YPS are also supplying the clear polybags used with the machines, to ensure complete compatibility with the new equipment.

Glyn continued: This customer is now back to their usual swift rate of packing their products, with as little delay as possible. It’s a privilege to now be supplying all of the packaging needs for this impressive UK manufacturer.
