The personal care industry is under massive pressure to innovate. Consumers are increasingly demanding individualized products, while regulatory requirements are tightening, and product life cycles are further shortening. As a result, the requirements for production plants are changing fundamentally. Classic machine concepts are increasingly reaching their limits. In this interview, you will learn how modern machine solutions meet these challenges, and which technological approaches will make the difference in the future.
The personal care market is undergoing profound change. Consumers increasingly want products that are precisely tailored to their individual needs. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing, for example regarding product safety, labelling requirements, and environmental requirements. In particular, the growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions such as refill systems or recyclable materials pose new challenges.
In addition, product life cycles are noticeably shortened. Brands are launching new variants on the market at ever faster intervals. Production lines must therefore work flexibly, efficiently, and in compliance with the rules. Traditional investments often reach their limits.
The focus is on flexibility, scalability, and digital networking. Systems must be able to react quickly to changing formats and recipes, without long changeover times or time-consuming rebuilds. The cost-effective production of small batch sizes is becoming a decisive factor.
Integration into digital production environments is also becoming increasingly important. Machines should not only be data-capable, but also actively support the operator. The topic of hygienic design is also rising to the forefront, especially when it comes to sensitive ingredients. Easy cleaning and minimizing contamination risks are essential here.
Our portfolio expansion is the result of a strategic analysis and specifically addresses the gaps we have identified in the market. Many manufacturers are reaching the limits of their existing systems, whether in terms of format diversity, new packaging concepts, or digital integration.
With the expansion of our Smart family, we offer modular, future-proof machine solutions that can be seamlessly integrated into existing production environments while ensuring the highest level of investment security. At the same time, we are creating the basis for flexible production. Our new platform combines technological innovation with a high degree of standardization and customizability.
The focus is on combining flexibility, efficiency, and performance. The new machine platform has been designed to be modular and scalable from the ground up with comprehensive digital networking. The aim was to transfer the proven strengths of our existing portfolio to the requirements of the personal care industry in a targeted manner.
Compared to previous solutions, the new platform offers a higher performance class, significantly shorter changeover times, and enlarged working areas. A special highlight is the flexible transport system.
The new transport system forms the technological heart of our platform. It enables stitch- and format-independent product transport, significantly minimizes the number of format parts required, and reduces the footprint.
For our customers, this means shorter changeover times, higher line availability, and the ability to efficiently process complex product portfolios on a single line. The system thus creates not only technical advantages, but also real economic added value.
