It's been a successful show for OEM Recopack, who confirmed sales of its new fully automatic case over packers off the stand.

The modular machine can be customised to customers' requirements, and accommodate almost any type of packaging format.

Bill Dopper, MD of Recopack, spoke to PKN about the machine on the show floor:

"Apart from our existing customers, we've met a number of manufacturers for the first time," he said.

"Had we not been here, we wouldn't have made some of these contacts.

"In terms of solid leads, it's been a really good show for us."
