The latest addition is a Cremer Uhlmann IBC 50 system, which enables automated bottling for various bottle shapes and can process up to 50 bottles per minute.
Compliant with GMP standards, the system is designed to either pack bottles with leaflets in cartons or with booklets added on top, followed by plastic wrapping through a shrink tunnel.
With the new IBC 50 line, Tjoapack aims to offer more packaging formats and options from its Etten-Leur facility.
The ability to switch quickly between different configurations on a single line is expected to improve operational efficiency and help clients meet product launch timelines.
The facility expansion forms part of broader investments in infrastructure and technology by Tjoapack, including recent developments in cold chain and injectable packaging in both the US and the Netherlands.
Tjoapack Netherlands general manager Geert Vleugels said: “This investment reflects our continued focus on flexibility and operational excellence.
“By introducing a line that supports multiple packaging configurations, we can better align our services with the diverse needs of our customers while maintaining the highest GMP standards.
“The flexibility this new line offers enables us to offer tailored solutions using a single, efficient setup, supporting our customers as their products and requirements evolve.”
