SUPPLIER REPORTS 2023 (PART 3) ALLIANCE MACHINE SYSTEMS INT’l Spokane, Washington: Marius Batrin reports, “Happy New Year from the team at Alliance! We thank all of our custom-
tomatic, operator-assisted machines to fully automatic equipment that frees operators for other duties. Whether making 800 boxes per minute on a high-speed flexo folder gluer or maximizing the die cut area of a rotary die cutter, our products include fully automated robotic load formers, palletizers, stackers, prefeeders, pallet handlers, specialty folder gluers, and more. “After a very strong showing in 2022 for sales on back-end automation, the trend seems to be continuing in 2023.
