Makro Labelling evolves into a packaging partner
Makro Labelling has officially entered the filling market, launching its first range of fillers to offer manufacturers a synchronised one-stop-shop for liquid packaging.
By expanding its portfolio beyond labelling, the company is targeting increased line efficiency and simplified maintenance through a unified technical architecture.
The launch marks a fundamental shift for Makro Labelling, moving from a niche machine manufacturer to a provider of complete, integrated lines. The primary reasoning behind the launch is the demand for seamless compatibility between the filling and labelling stages of production.
According to the company, the expansion into the world of filling comes as a natural step in the evolution of Makro Labelling. Being able to offer our customers a single point of contact for both the filling and the labelling phases means being able to guarantee even higher quality standards and even more efficient after-sales service.
The new filling solutions are designed to handle a diverse array of liquids, from water and soft drinks to spirits and oils. The technology prioritises hygiene and precision, ensuring that the filling phase mirrors the high technical standards of Makro’s established labelling machines.
Makro filling machines are designed to meet the specific needs of each sector, ensuring precision, speed and total safety… The range includes different filling technologies – from electronic to mechanical, from isobaric to gravity – to treat every type of liquid in the best possible way.
By introducing its own filler, Makro addresses a major pain point for manufacturers: the complexity of managing machines from different suppliers. A unified system allows for a shared control philosophy and a streamlined spare parts supply chain.
The aim of an integrated Makro solution means opting for an approach where every component of the line is designed to work in synergy, which translates into a simpler management of the production line, with a single interface and a unified maintenance programme.
The launch of the filling range is part of a broader strategy for Makro to leverage its existing global service network to support the new hardware.
Makro’s entry into filling offers a single provider for both filling and labelling, reducing the technical friction between two critical line stages. A unified maintenance programme means fewer specialised technicians are required on-site and the logistics of spare parts are significantly simplified. While investing in an integrated line from a single source ensures that the machinery is designed to work in perfect synergy from day one, eliminating the common integration errors found in multi-vendor lines.
