Fabbri Group and Bizerba team up to develop innovative combined and integrated stretch-wrapping solutions
The CEOs of Bizerba and the Fabbri Group, Andreas W. Kraut and Stefano Pellegatta, recently met at Bizerba’s headquarters to sign a partnership agreement. The collaboration, which has been ongoing for many years, will now be taken to a new level. The companies will jointly develop innovative solutions for the food industry, creating real added value for retailers around the world.
Everything from a single source
The collaboration will focus on developing a new range of combined and integrated packaging machines. They will be offered in combination with high-quality packaging materials and will include comprehensive technical support and spare parts service from a single source.
Pooling the expertise of both companies will provide groundbreaking solutions for the food retail sector. Hybrid stretch wrappers based on the use of recyclable monomaterial films, all produced by Fabbri Group itself, in effect makes packaging, for example, more sustainable. Bizerba complements the packaging machine on the basis of Stretch Film Wrapping technology with solutions relating to slicing, weighing, labeling and checkout tasks, which can be seamlessly combined.
The partners are an ideal match
Stefano Pellegatta, CEO of the Fabbri Group, is excited about the partnership: "We have found an outstanding partner in Bizerba, a perfect match for us and one that already has excellent connections to the retail world. After intense discussions and a great first meeting, we can now move forward into the operational phase and soon, we will offer retailers around the world real added value with our joint solutions."
Andreas W. Kraut, CEO & Shareholder of Bizerba, too, underlines the relevance of the partnership: "Bizerba continuously strives to make retail processes more intelligent and efficient. By partnering with the Fabbri Group, a first-class and worldwide recognized brand, we are now taking another big step in this direction: We can now minimize the time and effort retailers have to spend on data maintenance and facilitate the seamless use of retail systems and packaging solutions."The first joint solutions will be available in select countries in autumn 2023. The official launch in the Italian and European markets will take place during the Cibus Tec trade show, which will be held in Parma at the end of October.
