Three leaders in the Closure
System Technology world market have joined forces to use their know-how
to deal with the primary packaging market and its extraordinarily heterogeneous
combination of closures and containers on an overall basis.
The
protagonists of the Group:
ANGELUS
SANITARY CAN MACHINE COMPANY
AROL spa
CLOSYS srl
The
magnitude of the business:
> 23.000 equipment
systems installed and working on all 5 continents (>8000 by AROL+ CLOSYS
and 15.000 by ANGELUS).
The
production program:
- Can seamers closing
machinery for production up to 3.000 cans per minute
- Cappers for production
from 8 up to 1.500 containers per minute
- Caps feeding devices
up to 1.500 cpm
The
Group infrastructures:
A total of > 500 people
employed by the Group.
The
network:
- Can Seamers Machinery
production facility located in Los Angeles
- Capping turrets,
free standing cappers and caps feeding devices production facilities
in Canelli (Italy)
- Sales and technical
assistance branches in the USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, Belgium.
- Agents and dealers
in all the 5 Continents.
History:
- Angelus Sanitary
Can Machine Company was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1910
by inventor Henry L. Guenther. Guenther designed and patented machinery
for producing double seams on cans. He had a vision for a company that
would produce the finest machines of its kind and distribute them anywhere
in the world.
Since then, Angelus has become a major global supplier of can closing
and seaming machines. Angelus today is a recognized leader in the design,
production and maintenance of high – speed equipment. Its machines are
used by Food, Beverage, Non – Food and Can Manufacturing industries
around the globe. In the latest models manufactured by Angelus there
are the well known characteristics of efficiency, robustness and reliability
plus the most recent electronic characteristics.
- AROL was
founded in 1973 with the goal of confirming its presence in the closure
system industry. Up until 1982 all the corporate resources were concentrated
in the wine producing and agroindustry sector. Starting in 1983 AROL
gradually widened its range of production, giving particular attention
to the entry of P.E.T. on the market, and more generally, to the new
plastic materials, which in a short time were to bring about irreversible
changes in the bottling market. In 1995 the decision was made to separate
the low production rate machine division (less than 50 containers per
minute), in order to focus its energy on the medium and high production
rate machinery market. And so, in 1995
- CLOSYS was
founded with the specific goal of investing the know-how gained by AROL
in a specific context dedicated to low production rate machines with
the purpose of guaranteeing maximum flexibility for the customers, based
on a cost effective industrial policy (essential characteristic in industries
such as agroindustry, chemical, etc.). Owing to the legacy of experience
inherited from AROL, a new range of products was globally developed
and quickly gained recognition thanks to its extreme specialization
and recognised excellent performance and reliability. Also this new
range of products quickly placed at the top of the reference market.
The
reasons behind the choice:
The closure machine
market (in general terms) constitutes a separate sector with respect to
other machines used in the bottling plant industry. The volcanic development
of new types of closures and the continuous research in the packing field
bring about constant renewal, updating, and the study of more appropriate
tools in order to adequately respond to the new needs with maximum rapidity.
Like all of product
sectors in the Global Market which is in the process of establishing itself,
The Closure System Market required a careful analysis, and if possible,
a quick and adequate response to the changing times; all this, without
compromising the absolute independence necessary to a specialist when
proposing himself as a partner to bottlers companies or to bottling plants
turn key manufacturer.
A close examination
of the core business of the three companies which initiated this agreement
uncovered a potential synergy so important as to suggest a careful study
for an integrated industrial plan.
The result of this
study confirmed the high profile of the project, thus laying the foundations
for carrying out the initiative which was translated into the creation
of a true World Pole in the Closure System Technology.
The
Mission:
- To be landmark
in a market which is globalising its industrial and marketing strategies.
- To be an active
part in making proposals for the development of new Closure System technologies.
- To further strengthen
the organization of the range of technical solutions proposed in order
to satisfy the specific needs for high, medium and low production rates.
- To make available
an exceptional customer care network which brings service quality to
maximum levels, thanks to the fact that it is rooted and consolidated
in two world reference markets (U.S.A. and Europe), as it targets specific
strategies for emergent markets.
- To be the leading
companies in the World in Closure System Technology.
