Consolidation and partnerships key for end of line and palletizing sector

The palletizing and automated end-of-line sector is likely to experience greater consolidation and increased strategic alliances as industry players seek to deliver greater efficiencies, says Newtec boss Didier Pradeilles.

In an interview with FoodProductionDaily.com at the Emballage trade show in Paris this week, the chairman and CEO of the French company outlines how its global expansion strategy is progressing as it seeks to extend its reach into Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.

He also reveals how the firm is seeking to boost key efficiencies in its outbound logistics service thanks to its partnership with BA Systemes and why he believes such arrangements will become more common in the industry.
