Vegas show spurs equipment buys

Marich Confectionery increases line speeds dramatically with technology found at Pack Expo Las Vegas 2003.

Troy Van Dam, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Marich Confectionery, will return to Pack Expo Las Vegas to see this year’s most innovative packaging technologies. After visiting the last Pack Expo Las Vegas, Marich purchased an indexing conveyer, dual scale system, and case erector, which increased the company’s packaging line speeds by 150%.

Based in Hollister, CA, Marich has become one of the premier suppliers of premium quality confections, which are distributed nationwide to specialty grocery stores and retailers, as well as to popular coffee chain stores. The Company’s confections can also be purchased through mail-order catalogs and online gift shops.
