American Packaging Corp. (APC), recently expanded its facility in Columbus, WI.  With this expansion, company executives recognized they either needed to add labor or automate.  There was a need to safely transport printed materials across the 100,000 square foot expansion and adding labor was just not an option. Instead, APC added Seegrid’s Robotic Industrial Trucks and reassigned the labor needed to transport the product to more value-added functions.
PACK EXPO International features designated areas where buyers can find solutions aimed directly at the particular needs of every industry.
•   The Processing Zone
•   The Brand Zone
•   The Pharmaceutical Pavilion
•   The Confectionery Pavilion
•   The Reusable Packaging Pavilion
