entire spectrum of the market right now , from startup companies that require one small machine to large global businesses that demand high-end ranges . While our primary service is thermoforming , we ’ ve recently invested in complementary technologies including tooling and automation to expand our offering and deliver a full turn-key solution to the market .
“ Our automated solutions are very much tailored to the packaging of fiber or polymerbased packaging solutions . We create very efficient back-end automation to enable our customers to be cost-competitive . It has additional benefits too , like safety enhancements that eliminate repetitive tasks . This means our customers ’ employees can focus on value added activities and continuous improvement rather than repetitive jobs .
“ Automation within the manufacturing process has dramatically enhanced our customers ’ efficiency ,” he continues . “ Historically , we ’ d have a large team of packers and manual laborers , but now BMG ’ s automation solutions streamline the process from production all the way to placing the product in the delivery vehicle .”
With sustainability playing a key role in nearly every business in all industries , BMG is no exception . “ We ’ re embracing sustainability in a couple of key ways ,” Koben states . “ Firstly , we ’ re developing our foundational service , thermoforming , to shift the focus from
forming plastic to fiber . We ’ re essentially applying decades of experience and expertise in thermoforming to a new material . We launched new and products that are capable of thermoforming paperboard at very high speeds .
“ The other , more recent piece in our sustainability journey is our response to increasing demands for sustainable packaging . Our business strategy has enabled us to invest in our own capabilities to ensure that we can manufacture fiber-based food packaging for protein as well as produce like fruit and vegetables . Specifically , we ’ ve invested in a food grade packaging suite with the capacity to produce hundreds of millions of packaging solutions every year .”
Jake adds : “ To meet the swift pace of change required in packaging material , this suite has allowed us to prototype and test products at a very rapid pace compared to conventional methods . We ’ ve accelerated product development with our end-users to
