Between 25th and 27th September, Yorkshire Packaging Systems attended the PPMA exhibition at the Birmingham NEC, the foremost event for those in the packaging and processing machinery industry. The show, now in its 30th year, did not disappoint.
The company’s newly redesigned stand, now incorporating a shrink film station, attracted hundreds of visitors over the course of the exhibition. YPS welcomed both existing and new customers on to their stand and so report that the sales team have returned to the office with scores of promising enquiries for shrink wrapping projects to follow up, both in machinery and film.
YPS’s stand this year displayed a full complement of shrink wrapping equipment from their range, from entry level to high-speed, high-end machinery, and for a variety of different applications. The new ‘Servo X’ high speed side sealer and tunnel amassed a lot of interest from visitors who stopped for a working demonstration. As well as a machinery offering, the newly-launched B-NAT bio-based shrink film was showcased and as a result, YPS say that many visitors have arranged trials, impressed by its eco-friendly credentials. A further success was the popular ‘Bright Ideas Ambassador’ programme launched by PPMA this year, for which YPS managing director Glyn Johnson was put forward as the shrink wrapping expert.
Finally, this year’s PPMA award ceremony was held on the evening of Tuesday 25th September at the Hilton Hotel in Birmingham. More entries than ever before were submitted to the judges this year and so YPS are happy to announce that not only were they selected as a finalist for their B-NAT shrink film in the ‘Environmental Initiative’ category, but awarded with a ‘Highly Commended’ accolade in the ‘Outstanding Customer Service’ category.
