Established in 2014, Viet Sing International Production and Trading Co., Ltd. specializes in the production of sanitary paper products, including baby and adult diapers and sanitary napkins. As a member company of the Health Investment and Essential Consumer Goods Corporation, the Vietnamese company has a particularly high level of expertise in the hygienic and safe manufacturing of products. As a result, demand for its products has grown steadily.

In 2018, Viet Sing needed to increase the manufacturing and packaging capacity for its Jo brand of baby pull-up diapers in S and XXL sizes. To remain competitive, the company needed to do this without significantly increasing labor costs and without affecting the quality of the packaging.

Before acquiring new equipment, Viet Sing was using semi-automatic packaging machines. The transfer of the filled packages into the closing machine was done manually, which presented a bottleneck that prevented the increase in capacity. And, as line output increased, staff costs were impacted accordingly. In search of machines that provided higher productivity, Viet Sing evaluated several suppliers, selecting equipment from Optima supplied by The Rieckermann Company.
