Sealed Air's 'One-Stop' Boost For Customers

Exciting changes are taking place at Bradford-based Sealed Air Shrink Packaging for UK and Ireland, following a move to new bespoke premises. The aim of the new facility, based off Cutler Heights Lane, Bradford, will be to provide UK customers with a permanent equipment and films exhibition centre for presentation packaging.

The new facilities include a training room, showroom, offices, workshop, spares and service centre, and a product holding warehouse.

A key part of the new operation will be to provide new and existing customers with a product based solution. Customers will be encouraged to visit the new premises with their products in order for a dedicated Sealed Air specialist to identify the appropriate packaging solution.

Sealed Air's overall objective is to provide a 'one-stop' solution for companies needing packaging support. To facilitate this, the sales team have been paired together into a number of regional teams, comprising a machine and film specialist.

An extensive showroom will display both machines and films. These will include Shanklin® packaging machines (such as the Omni™ wrapper) for DIY items, durables - including household items - cosmetic healthcare, software, games, jigsaw puzzles, confectionery, fresh produce and cans. Some of the Shanklin® machines are capable of speeds of up to 300 packs per minute, depending on the item being wrapped.

Other machines that will be permanently exhibited are likely to include Opti® L-sealers, Pfankuch leaflet feeders and Mondo and Scaglione case sealing and pallet de-stacking equipment along with related periphery equipment.

Complementary films will also be on show for customers to inspect including Cryovac Adapt® shrink film, Sealed Air PRIMOFLEX™ BOPP film range along with Sealstrip® Easy Open Reseal bag solutions.

The new operation also includes a dedicated after sales and service team that can respond quickly to customers' needs. The team are backed by a large stock of spares and a service centre, in order to provide customers with a seamless support service. In addition to completing pre-delivery inspections the technical team will also provide on-going support to existing installations and can, if required, even help with the relocation of existing machinery to new overseas sites.

Sealed Air's technical team can also offer a small number of high standard reconditioned packaging machines, all with an after sales warranty.

Operations manager for Sealed Air UK shrink packaging, Colin Lovering says: "The new building, will on completion provide customers with a single source packaging solution for all their needs. A proactive sales approach is to be offered by the business with customers in specific sectors being targeted each month. All the changes are part of a global Sealed Air strategic initiative aimed at putting the customer first and improving the customer's bottom-line."
