For Gerhard Schubert, the 2024 exhibition year kicks off with ProSweets Cologne, the leading international supplier trade fair for the snack and confectionery sector. From 28 to 31 January, visitors will have an opportunity to experience the machine manufacturer’s far-reaching expertise in the packaging of snacks and confectionery. At Stand F030-G031 in Hall 10.1, the Schubert team will be presenting its TLM Comfort Feeder, an entirely new, efficient and resource-saving solution for feeding carton blanks. The Schubert experts will also be providing advice on their comprehensive portfolio for the automated and sustainable packaging of snacks and confectionery at several thematic islands, and offering information on their wide-ranging service programme.
Sustainable packaging for the snack and confectionery industry
As a manufacturer of packaging machines and lines, Schubert prioritises supporting its customers in the increasingly key area of sustainability. With its Mission Blue Sustainability Initiative, the Crailsheim-based company has formalised its own goals, values and specific measures to ensure sustainability. Visitors to ProSweets will also be able to see the initiative’s very tangible results. For example, the Schubert experts from Packaging Perspectives will be presenting two innovative sustainable packaging concepts: Dotlock, a technology that enables carton packaging to be produced entirely without glue, as well as a carton-monofilm hybrid solution – also without glue – that greatly minimises the use of plastic.
Schubert: Technology leader and service provider
To ensure that its customers’ very specific needs are met with pinpoint precision, Schubert offers a number of supplementary services in addition to its extensive technology portfolio. And the Schubert team will also be providing information about these at ProSweets. For example, Schubert Packaging Perspectives supports its customers in their search for the most suitable sustainable packaging, Schubert Consulting provides advice on complete packaging processes and optimisation potential, and Schubert’s 4YOU Digital Services enable customers to record and evaluate their line data – to better understand processes and to increase efficiency.
Martin Sauter, Sales Director at Gerhard Schubert, explains: “The snack and confectionery industry is in a very challenging situation due to huge cost pressures, such as increased raw material and energy prices as well as inflation. We are delighted that, with our innovative packaging machines and our wide range of services, we can provide manufacturers with solutions that make their processes leaner, more efficient and more cost-effective.”
