Many of our customers have extensive machine shops. So why is Slideways machining their plastic parts? It’s a few things that add up to a better solution for our customers.
We asked several customers if they had a planned maintenance program, and the main response was…
• Yes, but If it's not broken, we don’t shut our lines down to fix it
PackExpo International 2022 was a great success for Slideways and the Packaging Machinery industry. With masks and social distancing behind us, it was so nice to share a smile and a handshake with visitors to the Slideways booth. Component suppliers and machinery OEMs pulled out all the stops with extensive booths showing their products and machines loaded with the latest technology.
Here are 4 observations from the show.
Pack Expo 2021 was an excellent experience for me and the rest of the Slideways team. After over a year of being locked down, it was energizing to interact in person. Though Slideways exhibited in the 2020 Virtual Pack Expo, it was missing the spontaneity that comes with a face-to-face conversation. This year at Pack Expo, casual chats lead to discussions of opportunities that would have likely been missed during a virtual meeting.
Does your packaging system, conveyors, or material handling system require you to keep systems up and running for moving packages and products? If so, you may need plastic components that are custom-made to fit your application.
Slideways is a manufacturer of high quality engineered plastic extrusions and wear components since 1994.
