Around the globe, contract packagers must be able to quickly accommodate customer product changeovers. KLOCKE Verpackungs-Service GmbH, headquartered in Weingarten, Germany, processes an average of 5,000 packaging orders annually at its two plants in that city. These include primary and secondary packaging of human and animal medicines, cosmetics, dietary supplements, foods, and chemical-technical products. KLOCKE uses blister and multi-component packaging, different peel- and break-off solutions, as well as wallet packaging.
The company services primarily mid-sized customers that require frequent product and packaging changes. Sometimes up to 10 different packaging types are produced from one batch to meet different specifications of the individual target countries. Such demands require efficient product changes, so KLOCKE focuses on optimizing its processes, especially its set-up operations. In a joint training center, KLOCKE employees receive training on how to best work with its blister machines, provided primarily by Romaco.
