Bagging automation solutions provider Votech has inaugurated its newly expanded manufacturing facility and company headquarters in Ruesel, the Netherlands.
The opening of the facility follows the acquisition of Votech by global automation equipment company Duravant in 2021.
Duravant merged Votech with Fischbein International to create 100+ years of packaging expertise.
Votech said that the integration has developed a portfolio of technologies enabling the company to serve a range of markets like agriculture, animal nutrition, fruits and vegetables, ingredients, milk powders and other industries.
Additionally, the bagging automation solutions provider introduced its new company logo and brand campaign to demonstrate its transformation into a full-line packaging equipment provider.
Votech managing director Erik Blom said: “The names Fischbein, Saxon and Votech, all trusted brands known for quality, durability and dependability, will continue to reside in the market as Votech’s family of product brands.”
The company has a comprehensive portfolio of closure technologies and components for sewing portables, heads and systems under the Fischbein brand, sealing technologies under the Saxon brand, and filling, bagging, palletising and end-of-line solutions under the Votech brand.
Blom added: “Our combined teams have proven to deliver greater value to our customers with our expanded capabilities to design, manufacture, and deliver full turnkey automation systems.
“And, we have built a foundation for our company under one vision and set of values that have a laser-focus on our customers.”
The new headquarters for the bagging solutions provider will be home to its engineering and manufacturing operations.
Votech’s project sales head Rolf Michiels said: “We are excited to welcome our customers and partners to our newly expanded 5,200m² state-of-the-art facility to experience our technologies, capabilities, and customer-centric approach to innovation and integrated solutions.”
Votech offers engineering semi-automatic and fully automatic bagging, bag sewing, and bag sealing solutions for granular and powder products across a wide array of industries and applications.
