ABG adds laser perforation to shrink-sleeve seaming
Building on its recent rebrand of the shrink-sleeve range including seaming (SR), doctoring (DR) and cutting machines (IC), AB Graphic International (ABG) can now offer laser perforation on its SR.
Available in Australia from Currie Group (ABG’s distributor in the region), the SR is the company’s market-leading seaming offering designed to meet the high productivity demands of the labelling market.
Using a unique solvent application system with a motorised roller system (smartwheel), the SR creates a strong and reliable weld, ensuring that the web will not break when heat is applied.
The application of the adhesive creates a flat, clean weld that improves productivity, boosts product quality, and helps reduce operating costs and waste.
The addition of laser perforation, which can be retrofitted to existing seaming machines, will provide quicker turnaround times and increased efficiency.
The SR comes with the benefits of the company’s extensive global service and support, and is built with connectivity and automation at the forefront. ■

This move represents another step in Argon & Co’s expansion strategy, with the company saying it builds on its existing logistics capability in Australia and New Zealand by enhancing its expertise and scale.
Based in Australia, intralogistics specialist Fuzzy LogX has expertise in warehouse automation and technology, and a proven track record of delivering large client engagements. Like Argon & Co, it delivers process improvements for
clients around the globe. Paul Eastwood, managing

it means that together we can turbo-charge our end-to-end offering. Most importantly, I’m thrilled to be working

Fuzzy LogX partners Bas Schilders and Jeffrey Triantafilo will actively lead the ANZ intralogistics service, as
well as working side-by-side with the Argon & Co global
offices to further develop the global logistics proposition.
Bas Schilders said, “Fuzzy LogX has earned its place
as the de facto intralogistics consultancy in ANZ by focusing solely on what is best for our clients and going above and beyond what is requested of us to provide support through thick and thin. Being part of the Argon & Co team will give our clients access to an impressive array of complementary expertise and this next chapter truly makes us a one-stop- shop for everything a supply chain could ever need.”

The enhanced services
will immediately be available across the ANZ region, ensuring Australian and New Zealand clients have access to market leading capabilities. ■
Multivac launches new brand identity
Multivac Group has combined all aspects of its expertise in packaging and processing solutions under one new brand identity, which it says is now even more striking and memorable in its impact.
The initial phase of the redesign is represented by the gradual introduction of the newly conceived Multivac homepage, which is fashioned in the new corporate design.
The new visual appearance of the group will be seen in other media in the coming months, such as with the company’s presence at the Interpack 2023 trade fair.
The impetus for the development of the new corporate design was the growth of the group and its aim of incorporating Multivac, Fritsch and TVI under the umbrella brand of the Multivac Group.
“Multivac is a group of specialised companies and entrepreneurial manufacturing units, and as a strong and reliable partner, we offer our customers comprehensive expertise in line solutions throughout a wide range of sectors,” said Dr Tobias Richter, chief sales officer at Multivac.
“The wide range of technical expertise and the exchange of knowledge within our global teams of specialists are an important part of our ability to innovate, and these guarantee our customers a high level of expertise in consultancy and project management.” ■
