UK manufacturers have been tipped to benefit from a new strategic partnership between Autopack and Italian equipment specialist Weightpack, which will bring net weight filling and capping systems closer to the UK.
Weightpack’s systems are capable of filling products across a broad viscosity range, from thin, free-flowing liquids to more challenging viscous products like peanut butter. The technology is also adaptable to a variety of closures, including screw caps, flip-tops, pump dispensers, spray triggers and other specialist formats.
Autopack said the collaboration will provide UK customers with local commercial advice, technical assistance and faster access to spare parts. Technical teams from both businesses will also undertake joint training to support installation, calibration, maintenance and on-site service.
Jonathon Stewart, UK sales director at Autopack, said, “Our role is to bring together the right technology, engineering knowledge and local support to deliver packaging lines that perform. Weightpack adds a proven, high-quality net weight filling solution to our portfolio and strengthens our ability to support customers looking for accuracy, flexibility and long-term reliability. Combined with our existing international partnerships, this gives customers access to best-in-class technology, backed by the practical project management, installation and after-sales support they need on the ground.”
Massimiliano Milletti, area sales manager at Weightpack, added, “The UK is an important market for Weightpack, and working with Autopack gives us a strong local partner with the technical capability and customer relationships to support manufacturers properly. Together, we can make advanced net weight filling technology more accessible while ensuring customers receive the service and support required for successful long-term operation.”
