BW Packaging has strengthened its integrated packaging capabilities after forming a strategic partnership with Crown Packaging Corp.

The partnership brings together BW Packaging’s portfolio of packaging machinery, automation technologies and integrated systems with Crown Packaging Corp.’s packaging automation, integrated packaging capabilities and distribution network of over 50 branches across the United States, Mexico and Canada.

The company said the partnership will provide customers with solutions designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce downtime, enhance sustainability initiatives and streamline end-of-line packaging processes.

Matt Venezia, Chief Commercial Officer, BW Packaging, said: “Our collaboration with Crown Packaging represents a shared commitment to helping customers solve complex packaging challenges through innovative technology and exceptional service.

“Combining Crown’s customer relationships, service footprint and broad selection of packaging supplies with BW Packaging’s integrated machinery solutions creates new opportunities to support our customers with scalable, future-ready packaging systems.”

Rich Benkelman, Executive Vice President, Crown Packaging Corp., added: “Customers today are looking for more than individual products or standalone machines; they want integrated solutions and trusted partners who can help optimise their entire packaging operation.

“By partnering with BW Packaging, we’re strengthening our ability to deliver world-class packaging machinery, technical expertise and long-term value to our customers.”
