Hi, I'm Jordan Hamrick, president of Hamrick Packaging Systems. We're at Pack Expo today in booth 5619 North Hall discussing innovation with PMMI. So Hamrick is a supplier of top load components, case packers, sealers, palletizers, with the specification for rigid container. Our current innovations are all mostly centered around robotics.

We have a great partnership with FANUC. Well, we'll sell 35 arms this year, mostly for rigid container applications, case packing, partition inserting combo units like you're seeing here, and robotic palletizing. So our focus today is on our ComboBot, which is a two robot case director packer in a very compact footprint, runs speeds up to 10 cases per minute, and can also handle undersized box formats.

This is important because not a lot of case directors can handle undersized box formats. formats down to three and a half to four inches. So customers with inline fillers are looking for solutions in a tight footprint that can meet their rate and be flexible enough to run multiple formats.
