Coesia, a global leader in advanced industrial and packaging solutions, has recently acquired a minority share in PWR (Packaging with Robots), a prominent provider of automated robotic packaging systems for the Food Industry. This strategic partnership is poised to unlock new business opportunities by harnessing technological and geographical synergies. By teaming up with PWR, Coesia is set to broaden its range of offerings to include comprehensive automated packaging solutions utilizing robotics and vision systems. This move will enhance productivity and flexibility in complex production settings.
Specializing in segments like Bakery, Confectionery, Snacks, and Pet Food, PWR collaborates with Food industry players to design automated packaging solutions, particularly focusing on extensive multi-robot lines incorporating vision systems and pick & place technology. PWR will now be part of the Coesia family alongside ACMA, Volpak, RA Jones, and FlexLink, pooling their knowledge and expertise. There is potential for expansion into sectors such as personal care and ecommerce. With headquarters in Bellshill, UK, and operations in Ede, Netherlands, PWR, traditionally active in Europe and Australia, is now eyeing growth in North America by leveraging Coesia’s experience and infrastructure.
At the upcoming Fachpack and PPMA exhibitions in September 2024, PWR will make its presence felt at the Coesia booth, showcasing their combined portfolio and the latest technological advancements. “We are thrilled to collaborate with PWR and team up with their experts. Their proficiency in robotics and Food Industry applications will greatly enrich our offerings.
