productivity; and the e-commerce version of the EXPERT- FOLD 165, which is available with innovations specifically designed for digital retail. “In terms of sustainability, we are seeing a major trend in terms of replacement of single use plastic and new packaging with paper-based solutions, for example in the food and beverage sector. “Finally, in a sector with ever increasing pressures to deliver faster production and shorter times to market, BOBST has pioneered automated solutions to enable high-quality packaging with short lead times. Whether it’s the MASTERLINE DRO, a full line solution, from pre-feeder to palletizer, which is the most automated, connected and highly ergonomic solution on the market, or SPEEDPACK, our highly productive, fully automatic packer, we are pro- viding solutions that customers in the corrugated sector need to stay one step ahead. “We forecast that growth in the corrugated sector will continue. The pandemic was a catalyst to further change in consumer habits that are unlikely to be reversed. For ex- ample, online grocery shopping is now a firmly embedded choice for many consumers. In addition, we must take into consideration other trends that will have an impact on the e-commerce growth, such as right-sizing and right-weight- ing to minimize waste. “Asia and Africa are forecast to grow at the fastest rates, due to growing disposable incomes in emerging economies with increasingly sophisticated logistics and retail. Converters need versatile solutions with very short changeovers for more uptime and more productivity – and this is exactly what BOBST is supplying. “We have recently launched the e-commerce version of the EXPERTFOLD 165, essentially doubling the output of the machine in a single pass. EXPERTFOLD 165 e-com- merce produces a wide range of boxes in a single produc- tion line, with efficient production even for complex boxes. “The MASTERCUT 1.65 PER combines the best of cor- rugated board and folding carton machines and has been designed to be versatile, robust and equipped for Industry 4.0. It simplifies job changeover by automating the reci- pe management, saving time and eliminating the risk of human error. The SPEEDPACK meanwhile, is a fully auto- matic packer that bundles all types of boxes in corrugated board and litho-laminated, which has quickly seen market acceptance. “In the near future, we will have solutions to answer the latest market demands, including robotics, shelf-ready packaging solutions and more. Across our portfolio we are continually developing innovations that enable better sus- tainability. For example, BOBST’s Premium Gap Control – winner of the FEFCO Gold Award for Best Innovation – is a system controlling the folding process of all finished box- es at full production speed. The BOBST Digital Inspection Tables provide a quality center that enhances the opera- CONTINUED ON PAGE 34
