Endoline Automation has partnered with Hamrick Packaging Systems to expand the availability of its end-of-line automation equipment and technical support for manufacturers across North America.

The companies will introduce the partnership at PACK EXPO, where Endoline's case erecting and case sealing technology will be featured in Hamrick Packaging Systems' booth (N-5510) under the "Powered by Endoline Automation" branding.

According to Endoline Automation, the collaboration combines its packaging automation technology with Hamrick Packaging Systems' integration, installation and aftersales support capabilities. The companies said the partnership is intended to simplify implementation of end-of-line automation for manufacturers while providing local engineering support.

The agreement responds to growing demand for case erecting equipment capable of handling smaller box formats. Endoline Automation said its systems can process case widths down to 80 millimeters while maintaining a compact machine footprint, helping manufacturers increase production capacity within existing facilities.

The partnership will initially focus on manufacturers in the food and beverage, dairy, personal care, household products, chemical and nutraceutical industries.

At PACK EXPO, visitors will see the Endoline 227 Case Erector integrated with the Hamrick CP10D-R Compact Robotic Case Packer as a compact end-of-line packaging solution designed for medium-speed applications. Representatives from both companies will also discuss integrating Endoline's case erecting and case sealing equipment into new and existing packaging lines to improve flexibility, optimize production space and support future production requirements.
