Packaging kit manufacturer Schubert UK, a subsidiary of Gerhard Schubert, will be celebrating 10 years of business in the UK this year.

The firm supplies automated packaging systems to manufacturers in the food, beverage, healthcare, confectionery and pharmaceutical sectors.

In a statement, the firm said: “With a decade of continual growth and success in the packaging industry, the occasion is set to be marked by a number of events for both employees and customers.

“The Meriden based company won their first machine order in September 2002, to supply a packaging system for Unilever, formerly known as Lever Faberge. The line was installed at the Seacroft site in Leeds to pack deodorants. Following the success of the first line, Unilever placed a repeat machine order with Schubert just 12 months later. Subsequent capacity for major format changes has highlighted the flexibility of the Schubert solution.”

According to Schubert, the firm has since won numerous orders for many well known food manufacturers in the UK and Ireland; recent machine installations include Burtons Biscuits Co, Patak’s, and Tunnocks.

In a statement, Schubert explained: “In terms of technology and market demand Schubert have repeatedly delivered innovative landmarks and continue to stay at the forefront of technical developments, manufacturing high quality, automated solutions for a wide range of packaging applications. Visitors to this year’s PPMA exhibition will be given the opportunity to see the latest development from Schubert, the highly flexible tube filling line.”
