Bakery, dairy, confectionery
The TSA 680 can seal MAP, Vacuum and Skin depending on the requirements of the product to be packaged.
Chris Pickles, managing director, ULMA, said its thermoforming and flowrapping technology can be tailor-made to suit a customer’s requirements, as the company looks to consolidate its presence in established markets and break into new ones.
“Our expanding product portfolio will continue the growth the company has enjoyed over the past years. Exhibiting in front of a global audience at Interpack puts us in an excellent position to showcase the expertise we have in automation and our high-quality packaging machinery,” he added.
ULMA Packaging introduced a high tech version of its popular Atlanta range of horizontal flow wrapping machines to the UK market last year.

The Atlanta Hi-tech is designed to produce a three seal pillow pack for sectors including bakery, dairy, fresh produce, confectionery, biscuits and pies.
