IMPACK Collaborates with KAMA to Offer Optimal Packing Solution for Folding Carton Finishing Lines

Saint Jacques, Quebec, Canada, September 9, 2024 – IMPACK, a leading innovator in folder-gluer peripherals, is proud to announce its collaboration with KAMA, a global leader in finishing die-cutters and folding-gluing machines. Together, the two companies are delivering a powerful, cost-effective solution that meets the needs of modern packaging producers."

Complementary Technologies

At the heart of this collaboration is the seamless pairing of IMPACK's ERGOSA Semi-Automatic Packer with KAMA's FlexFold 52i folder-gluer. Designed specifically for short-run production, the FlexFold 52i offers fully automatic adjustments, allowing for over 100 order changeovers in a single day. Designed for fast changeovers and adaptability, the ERGOSA helps packaging producers maximize the real-life speed potential of KAMA's high-performance FlexFold 52i.

IMPACK Deputy General Manager Mathieu Tremblay explains: “IMPACK's ERGOSA Semi-Automatic Packer is the perfect complementary solution to KAMA's FlexFold 52i, offering a seemless solution for packaging producers looking to maximize efficiency on the finishing line. This partnership underscores the dedication of both IMPACK and KAMA to providing cutting-edge, reliable solutions for their customers.”

IMPACK and KAMA engineers worked together to define the best ERGOSA configurations for the FlexFold 52i. Kama has the rights to sell those specific configurations directly with their folder-gluers. For more diverse needs and special cases clients can discuss other solutions in IMPACK’s machine portfolio with our sales and engineering team.

KAMA’s reputation, built over 100 years of excellence in precision manufacturing, combined with IMPACK's expertise in folder-gluer peripherals, creates a shared DNA of design innovation and expert knowledge. Both companies are committed to serving the needs of packaging producers' finishing lines and are focused on driving productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

“We are very pleased about the promising cooperation with the Canadian manufacturer IMPACK”, says KAMA Head of Sales Europe Stefan Kleditzch. “With IMPACK, we have found the ideal partner for packing the finished folding cartons from our automatic folder gluer FlexFold 52i. Both companies share a common vision: the highest quality and precision in machine manufacturing. This partnership allows us to combine our strengths and offer a seamless, efficient complete solution. The fully automatic FlexFold 52i and the subsequent packaging system Ergosa perfectly harmonize in terms of speed and formats. Together, we offer packaging manufacturers and brand owners a sophisticated overall solution for folding carton production that supports the machine operator and significantly increases productivity."

IMPACK Area Sales Manager for German speaking countries, Natascha Döme said, “This project is a strong example of how we, as industry-focused machine builders, work together on solutions that create real added value for our customers. I'm looking forward to working together to address a real need in packaging production facilities.”
